Castle Haugh Ringwork is a small earthwork fortification located near Newsholme in Yorkshire. The site consists of a circular or oval defended enclosure created by a bank and ditch, characteristic of ringwork fortifications that emerged during the Norman period and remained in use through the medieval centuries. Such earthwork castles served as modest strongholds for local landholders and provided defensive positions without the expense of stone construction. The ringwork represents an important form of early medieval military architecture in northern England, demonstrating the dispersed settlement patterns and manorial organization of the post-Conquest landscape.
