Ardley Wood moated ringwork

The National Heritage List for England records Ardley Wood moated ringwork as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Ardley Wood moated ringwork is a medieval earthwork featuring a central platform surrounded by a moat, typical of late Saxon or early medieval defensive or elite settlements. While not a traditional fairy fort, such sites were sometimes later associated with local folklore, including beliefs in hidden or supernatural inhabitants.
