Manor Garth Hill ringwork is a defended enclosure situated in Yorkshire, England, that dates to the medieval period. The monument comprises a circular or sub-circular earthwork formed by a substantial bank and external ditch, characteristic of ringwork fortifications constructed during the 11th and 12th centuries. Such ringworks served as high-status residential and defensive sites, typically occupied by minor nobility or knights during the Norman period. The site's archaeological significance lies in its preservation as physical evidence of early medieval settlement hierarchy and fortification practices in northern England.
