Rougemont Castle ringwork and bailey is a Norman fortification located in Yorkshire, consisting of a ringwork, bailey, and associated earthworks that date to the late eleventh or twelfth century. The monument comprises a defended enclosure with characteristic Norman defensive architecture, including fishponds that may have served both practical and defensive functions within the fortified landscape. The site represents an important example of early medieval castle construction in the north of England, reflecting Norman settlement and military consolidation following the conquest. The surviving earthworks, including the outwork features, demonstrate the scale and sophistication of the original fortification's design.
