Old Foxhall Earth Circle is a medieval enclosure situated in Denbighshire, Wales. The monument consists of an earthen circular or oval bank and ditch formation, characteristic of late medieval defensive or administrative structures common to the Welsh marches and upland regions during the thirteenth to fifteenth centuries. Such earthworks typically served as strongholds, stock enclosures, or territorial markers for local Welsh lords or English settlers during a period of significant political and military activity in the region. The site remains an important example of small-scale medieval earthwork fortifications in North Wales.
