Castle Hill medieval ringwork, Hunworth is a scheduled monument in North Norfolk, England.

The National Heritage List for England records Castle Hill medieval ringwork, Hunworth 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.
Built in the late 12th or early 13th century, Castle Hill medieval ringwork was likely constructed by a local landowner or noble as a defensive structure during a period of political instability following the Norman Conquest. It is remembered as an example of a simple but effective early medieval earthwork fortification in the rural landscape.
