Ranbury Ring is a univallate hillfort located near Symonds Yat in Gloucestershire, positioned on high ground overlooking the River Wye. The monument consists of a single defensive rampart enclosing an oval interior, typical of Iron Age fortified settlements dating to the pre-Roman period. The site's prominent location along the Wye valley suggests strategic importance, likely related to territorial control and defence during the later Iron Age. The earthwork remains substantially visible today, preserving the characteristic form of this class of hillforts found across the Welsh Marches and western England.
