Ringwork 90m south east of Plowden Mill is a small fortified earthwork located in Shropshire, England. This monument comprises a circular or oval banked enclosure typical of Norman ringworks, defensive structures that were commonly constructed during the eleventh and twelfth centuries. The earthwork displays the characteristic form of such military settlements, with a raised bank forming a protective perimeter around a central platform that would have accommodated domestic and administrative buildings. Ringworks of this type served as modest fortified residences or administrative centres for minor landholders during the early Norman period following the Conquest.
