Ringwork and bailey at Coldred Court is a Norman fortification situated in Kent, England. The monument consists of a ringwork, a circular or oval defensive earthwork, associated with a bailey, the defended outer enclosure typical of early Norman military architecture. Dating to the Norman period following the Conquest of 1066, the site represents the widespread programme of castle construction undertaken by Norman lords to consolidate control over conquered English territory. The earthwork remains preserve evidence of the rapid fortification strategy employed in the decades following 1066, though the site has not been subject to extensive archaeological excavation or detailed study that would clarify its precise dating, ownership, or period of occupation.
