The Ringmoor Settlement is an Iron Age/Romano-British farming settlement in Dorset, to the north of Turnworth and the south of Belchalwell in the Blackmore Vale.

The site is well preserved in unploughed downland. An ancient trackway, the site of a farmstead and field systems are still clearly visible as banks in the grassland.

It is owned by the National Trust, and is a Scheduled Ancient Monument.

Only limited archaeological research has been done on the site, and little is known about it. In the Iron Age, it was in the territory of the Durotriges, along with nearby Hod Hill and Hambledon Hill.
