Ringwork 400m NNW of Batworthpark House is a medieval fortified earthwork located in Sussex, England. The monument comprises an artificial circular or oval enclosure defined by a bank and ditch, characteristic of ringwork fortifications that were constructed during the medieval period, particularly from the 11th to 13th centuries. Such earthwork fortifications served as defensive structures or administrative centres for local lords, though they typically lacked the stone construction of more substantial castles. The ringwork's relationship to Batworthpark House and its specific historical context within Sussex's medieval settlement pattern reflects the dispersed distribution of minor fortified sites across the English landscape during the medieval period.
