Greenhalgh Castle is a fortified structure situated in Lancashire, England, founded in the fifteenth century as a stronghold of the Greenhalgh family. The castle comprises defensive earthworks and masonry remains typical of the late medieval period, reflecting its strategic importance in the region during the Wars of the Roses. Associated with the site are cultivation terraces located to the south-east of the castle, evidence of agricultural management and land use contemporaneous with or post-dating the castle's occupation. The remains of Greenhalgh manor house, positioned within the broader settlement complex, represent the domestic and manorial infrastructure that sustained the fortified site through the medieval and early post-medieval periods.
