Manor Garth Hill ringwork is a medieval fortified enclosure located in Yorkshire. The monument comprises a substantial earthwork defence consisting of a bank and ditch forming an irregular circular or oval plan, typical of ringwork fortifications of the Norman period and later medieval centuries. Such ringworks served as modest fortified residences for local lords and gentry, providing defensive capability without the expense of constructing a stone castle. The site represents an important category of medieval settlement hierarchy, occupying a position between the great castles of major magnates and undefended manorial settlements.
