Historic England describes <em>Castle Ring<\/em>  as a defended settlement from between 7th and 5th century BC &#8211; ie. very very old! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It continues:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>An exceptionally well preserved example of a defended settlement. It lies within an area rich in prehistoric monuments, including a second defended settlement, and will contribute to the study of settlement and land-use in this area at this time. Castle Ring is situated on Harthill Moor in the eastern gritstone moorlands of Derbyshire. The monument is a sub-circular enclosure comprising a bank, external ditch and counterscarp bank surrounding an area of c.0.5 hectares. The internal bank or rampart appears to be of simple dump construction and varies between 1m and 2m high while the counterscarp bank is between 0.5m and 1m high. The ditch is c.5m wide and is less distinct on the south side where there is no rampart visible. This is an indication that the original entrance lay in this region. The monument has not been excavated but it forms part of a rich Bronze Age landscape on Harthill Moor<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And this is what you see, if you walk up to the top of the hill. The dry stone wall is, of course, of a much later time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.half-daywalker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_20220609_104402.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1005705\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.half-daywalker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_20220609_104402.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.half-daywalker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_20220609_104402.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.half-daywalker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_20220609_104402.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next section of walk criss-crosses several farm fields with spectacular views, and skies!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.half-daywalker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_20220609_105952.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1005706\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.half-daywalker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_20220609_105952.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.half-daywalker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_20220609_105952.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.half-daywalker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_20220609_105952.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I sat for a while opposite this copse of pines.
