Ringwork at Kingshaugh Farm is a medieval fortified enclosure located in Nottinghamshire. The monument comprises a circular or oval earthwork surrounded by a ditch and bank, typical of ringwork fortifications constructed during the Norman period and subsequently. Such earthworks served defensive purposes for small manorial settlements and administrative centres, though they were often relatively modest in scale compared to larger castles. The site represents an important element of the medieval settlement pattern in the county and demonstrates the widespread adoption of fortified domestic architecture amongst the Anglo-Norman landholding classes.
