Park Wood is a ringwork situated approximately 75 metres north-east of Holy Trinity Church in Essex. The monument consists of a circular or oval defensive earthwork, characteristic of the ringwork form that emerged during the early medieval period, particularly in the 11th and 12th centuries. Ringworks of this type typically comprised a defended enclosure surrounded by a bank and ditch, serving as fortified administrative or residential centres for local lords. The site's proximity to the parish church suggests a relationship with manorial settlement and the ecclesiastical centre of the community.
