Up Sydling

Also known as, or recorded in historical documents as; Sydling St Nicholas

In the civil parish of Sydling St Nicholas.
In the historic county of Dorset (Modern Authority of Dorset, 1974 county of Dorset).

PastScape record of Medieval Ringwork. Enclosures, now destroyed by ploughing, of Iron Age/Romano-British settlement site and the possible remains of a ringwork.The ringwork was recorded by field investigation in 1955 and survived as a depression 13m internal diameter, and 0.4m deep, surrounded by a bank 4m wide and 0.6m high save on the north where it was poor. Later ploughing has reduced these features. They don't even seem to appear as cropmarks on aerial photo. Since this site is isolated from medieval settlement and not particuarly stategic in it's site I consider it a doubtful medieval ringwork.

This site has been described as a;
Timber Castle.
This site is rejected as a medieval fortification or palace.
