An Entity of Type: House103544360, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org:8891

A ringwork is a form of fortified defensive structure, usually circular or oval in shape. Ringworks are essentially motte-and-bailey castles without the motte. Defences were usually earthworks in the form of a ditch and bank surrounding the site. A survey published in 1969 identified 198 ringwork castles in England and Wales, with a further 50 sites that were considered to possibly be ringworks. D. J. Cathcart King and Leslie Alcock proposed the following classification of ringworks based on their surviving remains:

  • Un traçat circular és una forma d'estructura defensiva fortificada, generalment en forma circular o ovalada. Les construccions d'aquest estil són fonamentalment castells de mota i pati però sense mota. Les defenses solen ser moviments de terres en forma de rasa i banc que envoltava l'indret. Aquest tipus d'obres es van originar a Alemanya al segle x com a forma inicial de castell medieval i, al principi, eren poc més que una casa pairal fortificada. Van aparèixer a Anglaterra just abans de la conquesta normanda i es van construir grans quantitats a finals del segle xi i principis del XII. Versions més elaborades (com el ) comprenen un traçat circular i , el traçat substituint la ja més comuna mota i el pati actuant com a fortalesa militar. Una enquesta publicada el 1969 va identificar 198 castells en forma de traçat circular a Anglaterra i Gal·les, amb 50 llocs més que es consideraven com a possibles. i van proposar la següent classificació de construccions de traçat circular en funció de les seves restes: * A — un banc i una séquia que envolta el lloc * B — un banc i una rasa que envolta el lloc, amb un interior artificialment elevat * Bb — un banc i una rasa que envolten el lloc sobre un turó natural, on la superfície del terreny baixa per tal que l'interior sigui més elevat que l'exterior * C — un banc per un costat amb terra inclinada per l'altre * D — un banc per un costat amb un terra inclinat per l'altre combinat amb una rasa i un interior elevat artificialment * Dd — un banc a un costat amb un terreny inclinat per l'altre combinat amb una rasa i l'interior aixecat per un turó natural (ca)
  • A ringwork is a form of fortified defensive structure, usually circular or oval in shape. Ringworks are essentially motte-and-bailey castles without the motte. Defences were usually earthworks in the form of a ditch and bank surrounding the site. Ringworks originated in Germany in the 10th century as an early form of medieval castle and at first were little more than a fortified manor house. They appeared in England just prior to the Norman conquest and large numbers were built during the late 11th and early 12th centuries. More elaborate versions (such as Stansted Mountfitchet Castle) comprise a ringwork and bailey, the ringwork replacing the more usual motte and the bailey acting as a military stronghold. A survey published in 1969 identified 198 ringwork castles in England and Wales, with a further 50 sites that were considered to possibly be ringworks. D. J. Cathcart King and Leslie Alcock proposed the following classification of ringworks based on their surviving remains: * A – a bank and ditch encircling the site * B – a bank and ditch encircling the site, with an artificially raising interior * Bb – a bank and ditch encircling the site on a natural hillock, where the ground surface slopes so that the interior is higher than the exterior * C – a bank on one side with sloping ground on the other * D – a bank on one side with sloping ground on the other combined with a ditch and an artificially raised interior * Dd – a bank on one side with sloping ground on the other combined with a ditch and the interior raised by a natural hillock (en)
  • Um traçado circular era uma forma de estrutura defensiva medieval fortificada, geralmente circular ou oval. Era essencialmente um castelo de mota sem a mota. As defesas consistiam geralmente em um fosso e um aterro em volta do local. (pt)
