Ringwork on Cam's Hill is a small fortified earthwork located north east of Lawn Farm in Wiltshire. The monument consists of a circular or oval enclosure defined by a bank and ditch, characteristic of ringworks which were common defensive structures in medieval England, particularly from the 11th to 13th centuries. Such works typically served as fortified residences or administrative centres for minor lords and were often constructed in the early Norman period following the conquest. The site's earthwork remains represent an important example of the small-scale military architecture that characterised local settlement and defence during the medieval period.
