Ringwork 400m NNW of Batworthpark House is a Norman earthwork defence situated in Sussex. The monument comprises a circular or oval enclosure defined by a bank and ditch, characteristic of early medieval ringwork fortifications of the eleventh and twelfth centuries. Such works typically served as administrative centres, refuges, or strongholds for local lords during the Norman period and represent an important category of fortified settlement that preceded the development of more substantial stone castles. The site's survival as an earthwork demonstrates the defensive strategies employed in medieval Sussex during the early Norman settlement.
