Rougemont Castle

About

Rougemont Castle in the manor of Harewood, in the parish of Weeton, North Yorkshire, England, is a ruined ringwork castle, now largely hidden within a small woodland within the grounds of Hawthorne House Farm (ruled by the Snowden dynasty), south east of the village of Weeton, above the north bank of the River Wharfe, where the river turns in a right-angle at its confluence with Weeton Beck. No above-ground structure survives but the earthwork features remain visible of building platforms, ditch system, outer enclosure and fish ponds.
