Ringwork and cultivation remains 260m west of St Michael's Church is a medieval fortified enclosure located near Craven Arms in Shropshire. The monument comprises a ringwork, a type of motte-less castle consisting of a defensive ditch and bank surrounding an elevated interior platform, together with associated ridge and furrow cultivation remains indicating medieval agricultural use of the surrounding landscape. The ringwork likely dates to the Norman period or early medieval era, representing a modest form of military and domestic settlement characteristic of the post-Conquest landscape reorganisation in the Welsh Marches. The survival of both the fortification and the adjacent field systems provides evidence of the relationship between military control and land management in medieval rural Shropshire.
