Ringwork in Dallam Park is a medieval defensive earthwork situated approximately 380 metres south-east of Dallam Tower in Westmorland. The monument consists of a circular or sub-circular banked enclosure typical of ringwork fortifications, which were common in northern England during the Norman period and high medieval centuries. Such earthen fortifications often served as administrative or defensive centres for landholding families, though the specific functional and chronological details of this particular ringwork remain subject to archaeological interpretation. The site's proximity to Dallam Tower suggests it may form part of a broader landscape of medieval settlement and lordly authority within the locality.
