Aston Botterell Ringwork

In the civil parish of Aston Botterell.
In the historic county of Shropshire (Modern Authority of Shropshire, 1974 county of Shropshire).

Earthwork remains of a Medieval ringwork and adjacent sections of former field boundary located 110m west of St Michael's Church. The enclosed area measures 45m east to west by 35m transversely, formed along the north and west sides by a well preserved dry ditch 8m wide and 1.3m deep, with an internal bank 1m high. Only slight unsurveyable traces of the ditch survive along the east and south sides, and the external scarp was only 0.6m high when investigated in 1979. Is this a homestead moat recorded poorly by PastScape as a 'ringwork' or is it a badly eroded small Ringwork castle. The position is most coherent with it being a castle although sited away from the welsh border and the main zone of small timber castles.
