Ringwork in Broomhall Copse is a medieval fortified earthwork located in Surrey. The site consists of a circular or oval enclosure defined by a bank and ditch, a characteristic form of minor defensive work constructed during the medieval period. Such ringworks typically functioned as manorial strongholds or administrative centres for local lords, though this particular example remains modestly documented in the scholarly record. The monument survives as an upstanding earthwork within woodland, preserving evidence of medieval settlement and territorial organisation in the Surrey landscape.
