The Ringses is a multivallate hillfort situated on Doddington Moor in Northumberland. The monument comprises multiple concentric defensive banks and ditches, characteristic of Iron Age hillforts in northern England, and likely dates to the later prehistoric period. The site's elevated position on the moor would have provided commanding views across the surrounding landscape, typical of hillforts that served both defensive and territorial functions. As a scheduled ancient monument, The Ringses remains an important archaeological record of Iron Age settlement and social organisation in Northumberland.
