Ongar Park Pale is a medieval deer park boundary earthwork located northwest of Collier's Hatch in Essex. The pale, which dates from the medieval period, comprises a substantial bank and ditch that once enclosed a hunting park associated with Ongar Castle. The earthwork survives as a prominent linear feature in the landscape, representing the physical infrastructure of aristocratic landholding and the managed exploitation of woodland resources during the medieval period. Such pales were constructed to contain and protect deer herds, which were valued for both hunting and their economic worth to the estate.
