Castle Ring is an Iron Age hill fort that occupies the highest spot in Cannock Chase. Roughly 2,500 years old, the fort would have been an important settlement in Iron Age Britain and is believed to have been occupied by Celtic tribe, the Cornovii. Castle Ring is listed as a Scheduled Ancient Monument.

Castle Ring is a 2,500 year old Iron Age hill fort that was home to the Celtic Cornovi tribe.

Also a car park to start some fantastic walks in Cannock Chase.
