A ringwork and motte is a fortified earthwork located approximately 230 metres north-east of Stanborough Camp in Devon. The monument comprises defensive works characteristic of the Norman period, with a motte (raised mound) and ringwork (circular or oval defensive bank) representing typical high medieval military architecture from the eleventh or twelfth century. Such structures served as strongholds for local lords and functioned as centres of administrative and military control during the feudal period. The earthwork survives as an important archaeological record of Norman settlement patterns and territorial organisation in Devon.
