Heath Wood earthwork

Scheduled monument

What is recorded here

The National Heritage List for England records Heath Wood earthwork 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.
Heath Wood earthwork is a scheduled monument believed to be an early-medieval ringfort or rath, based on its circular earthwork features typical of such sites. While no specific folklore is recorded for this site, like many similar earthworks in Britain, it may have later been associated with local legends or folk beliefs about fairies or ancient inhabitants.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
