A ringwork and bailey castle 100 metres north east of Heath Farm is a Norman fortification located in Shropshire, England. The site consists of a ringwork, a circular or oval defensive earthwork, accompanied by a bailey, the characteristic motte-and-bailey arrangement typical of early Norman military architecture in England following the conquest of 1066. Such fortifications served as administrative and defensive centres for Norman lords establishing control over conquered territories, with the ringwork providing a strong point for the lord's residence or garrison. The earthwork remains visible in the modern landscape as a testament to Norman settlement and feudal organisation in the medieval Marches region.
