Ringwork and baileys at Church Farm is a medieval fortification situated in Kent, England. The monument comprises earthwork defences characteristic of early medieval military architecture, consisting of a ringwork with associated baileys that would have served defensive and administrative functions. Such fortifications are typical of the Norman period and its aftermath, representing the landscape militarisation that followed the Norman Conquest of 1066. The earthwork remains visible in the landscape and contribute to understanding the distribution and development of early medieval fortified sites across south-eastern England.
