Ridlington settlement site lies on the western edge of the village, four kilometres north-west of Uppingham. Located behind a bank and hedge on the west side of West Lane, it is roughly semi-circular in shape, with earthworks round the three western sides, the eastern side having been removed, presumably when the present village was extended in that direction. The bi-vallate earthworks vary in height and are most marked on the northern perimeter where the ground slopes steeply away to the Chater valley. The land is privately owned and not accessible to the public.
