The Ringses is a multivallate hillfort located on Doddington Moor in Northumberland, England. The site is defined by multiple concentric earthwork ramparts and ditches that enclose an interior space, a defensive arrangement typical of Iron Age hillforts in northern Britain. The monument dates to the Iron Age period, when such fortified settlements served as centres of control, storage, and communal refuge across the British landscape. The site's location on the exposed moorland of Northumberland reflects the strategic positioning of hillforts in this region during the pre-Roman Iron Age.
