Studford Ring is a prehistoric earthwork located in Yorkshire, England. The monument comprises a roughly circular or oval enclosure defined by a substantial bank and ditch, characteristic of Iron Age hillforts or enclosed settlements of northern Britain. It dates to the Iron Age period, when such defensive or communal enclosures served important functions in settlement organisation and territorial control. The site's specific archaeological sequence and cultural affiliations remain subjects of scholarly investigation, though its form and location within the Yorkshire landscape reflect the settlement patterns of Iron Age communities in the region.
