Castle Ring Ancient Monument
 |
Apart from the perimeter earthworks, little remains visible. However, there is also evidence of farming having taken place at some point, since parts of the ground in the ring have been ploughed but there is still some debate as to whether these were created by the Medieval hunters( who also built a hunting lodge on the ring sometime in the Medieval period - the remains of this are still visible today) or the Celtic tribe.
There are excellent views over Cannock Chase, the Trent Valley and Staffordshire.
It is the highest point on Cannock Chase with an elevation of 244m. It also lies on the Heart of England Way.
