The National Heritage List for England records The Rings: a ringwork and bailey and a Civil War battery 400m south west of Corfe Castle 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.

The Rings is a medieval ringwork and bailey associated with the defensive systems of Corfe Castle, likely constructed in the 12th or 13th century, and later reinforced with a Civil War battery in the 17th century. It is important as part of the broader military landscape of Dorset and reflects both medieval and 17th-century conflict strategies.
