Cropton Hall Garth is a motte and bailey castle of Norman origin located in Yorkshire, England. The site comprises an earthwork mound with associated bailey, representing a typical early medieval fortified residence of the eleventh or twelfth century. Later medieval occupation is evidenced by the remains of a manor house constructed within or adjacent to the original castle earthworks, reflecting the transition from military stronghold to domestic settlement. The monument also incorporates associated medieval features including a trackway and pond, which formed part of the wider manorial landscape and demonstrate the sustained use and development of the site through the medieval period.
