The remains of a roughly triangular fortified Iron Age farmstead or possibly a small promontary fort constructed on high ground above the River Onny valley. The location of Castle Ring is now in the corner of a field adjoining Plowden Woods and is visible from the footpath.
Unfortunately on this visit the field was a hay meadow and nothing of the site could be seen. We even walked a little way along the field boundary towards the location and could neither see or find any trace of earthworks. A post harvest or Winter visit might prove more useful.
