The cultivation terraces located to the south-east of the castle represent evidence of agricultural organisation associated with the settlement, indicative of the productive landscape supporting the castle and its inhabitants. The site of Greenhalgh Manor House, situated within the wider designated monument, relates to earlier or later manorial occupation and represents the continuity of settlement and lordly residence at this location across successive periods.
