Ringwork 225m North East of Rhiwderyn is a medieval domestic ringwork located in Wales and designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under the reference MM066. The site comprises a circular or subcircular earthwork consisting of a raised platform or bailey enclosed by a ditch, characteristic of ringwork fortifications that served as defended residences for the gentry during the medieval period. Ringworks of this type were particularly common in Wales and the Welsh Marches during the eleventh to thirteenth centuries, representing a more modest form of domestic fortification than the large motte-and-bailey castles but serving similar defensive and residential purposes. The earthwork survives as an upstanding archaeological monument that contributes to understanding the settlement patterns and social organisation of medieval Wales.
