What is recorded here

Castle Ring is a scheduled monument in Cannock Chase, England, where Iron Age ramparts and ditches still stand beside a medieval hunting lodge. The multivallate hillfort near Cannock shows how people repeated the same judgement across centuries: height, sight and control matter. Its preserved banks and ditches keep both functions visible, while the medieval reuse suggests the place never stopped being useful.

The National Heritage List for England records Castle Ring, a multivallate hillfort and medieval hunting lodge 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 as a multivallate hillfort in the Iron Age and later adapted as a medieval hunting lodge, Castle Ring is important as a scheduled monument reflecting both prehistoric defensive architecture and later aristocratic land use in the region.
