Ringwork 90m south east of Plowden Mill is a Norman fortification located in Shropshire. The monument consists of a circular or sub-circular earthwork comprising a substantial bank and ditch, characteristic of the ringwork form of castle that was prevalent in the late eleventh and twelfth centuries. Such works typically served defensive and administrative functions for Norman landholders during the post-Conquest period. The site's precise architectural development and period of use remain subjects of local archaeological interest, though like many Shropshire ringworks it represents the common form of Norman territorial control in the Welsh Marches.
