Hall Garth is a motte and bailey castle situated in Yorkshire, England, with associated medieval settlement earthworks. The site comprises a mound (motte) with an adjoining bailey, representing a typical Norman defensive settlement pattern established following the Conquest period. The earthworks visible on the ground reflect the castle's role as both a fortified residence and administrative centre during the medieval period. The survival of these features provides important archaeological evidence for understanding the development of early medieval settlement and lordly power in northern England.
