Castle Ring is thought to have first been occupied c. 500BCE by an Ancient British (Celtic) tribe named the Cornovii. It was abandoned c. 43CE as a consequence of Romans occupying the area.[1]
Apart from perimeter earthworks, little remains visible. Parts of the ground in the ring appear to have been ploughed, but there is no consensus as to whether this was carried out in prehistoric times, or in the medieval period, when a hunting lodge was also built in the ring.[citation needed] The remains of this lodge are still visible.[1]
