Ringwork at Kingshaugh Farm is a medieval earthwork monument located in Nottinghamshire. The site comprises a circular or oval defensive enclosure formed by a ditch and bank, typical of ringwork fortifications constructed during the medieval period, particularly common in the eleventh and twelfth centuries. Such ringworks served as modest fortified residences or administrative centres for local lords and landholders, representing an intermediate form of military architecture between simple palisaded enclosures and more substantial stone castles. The earthwork survives as a recognisable landscape feature, providing archaeological evidence of medieval settlement hierarchy and defensive strategy in the East Midlands.
