Ringwork castle, 80 metres north west of St John the Baptist's Church, is a motte-and-bailey castle of Norman origin located in Warwickshire, England. The monument consists of earthwork remains comprising a raised mound with an associated bailey, typical of fortifications erected during the late eleventh or twelfth century in post-Conquest England. Such ringwork castles served as military strongholds and administrative centres during the early Norman period, though this particular example has not been subject to extensive archaeological excavation. The site is scheduled as an ancient monument and remains visible as a landscape feature, preserving evidence of early medieval military architecture in the English Midlands.
