Robury Ring is a small enclosed settlement located on Wentnor Prolley Moor in Shropshire, England. The site comprises a roughly circular or oval enclosure defined by a substantial earthwork bank, characteristic of Iron Age settlement patterns in the Welsh Marches region. Dating to the Iron Age, the monument represents one of several defended or enclosed settlements established during this period across the upland areas of Shropshire, reflecting patterns of territorial occupation and pastoral or mixed subsistence economy typical of the era. The site's position on moorland indicates its exploitation of upland resources, and its preservation as an earthwork monument has allowed archaeological and historical assessment of settlement morphology and distribution across the landscape.
