Ringwork and bailey castle 350m south west of Lyndale is a medieval fortification of eleventh or twelfth century date located in Shropshire. The monument comprises an earthwork ringwork with an associated bailey, representing a common form of early Norman defensive settlement in the English Midlands. Such ringworks typically consisted of a circular or oval palisaded enclosure, often serving as a residence or refuge for a local lord, with the bailey providing additional defensive space or agricultural functions. The site's survival as an earthwork indicates it was either abandoned before stone construction or remained a relatively modest fortified holding throughout the medieval period.
