Green Castle ringwork is a medieval earthwork fortification located in Northumberland, approximately 320 metres south-west of Humbleton Mill. The site comprises a ringwork, a type of defended enclosure characteristic of the 11th and 12th centuries, consisting of a circular or oval bank and ditch forming a protective barrier around a central area. Such ringworks typically served as residences for minor nobility or gentry during the Norman period and the early medieval centuries, functioning both as domestic and defensive structures. The earthwork survives as an upstanding monument that provides evidence of settlement patterns and fortification strategies in medieval Northumberland.
