What is recorded here

Greenhalgh Castle and its south east cultivation terraces stand as a scheduled monument in Wyre, England. The land still carries the shape of hands that cut steps into hillside and grew food beside stone walls. People may have lived, worked and played among those terraces before the castle rose above them. The site remains protected, but entry is not guaranteed without permission.

The National Heritage List for England records Greenhalgh Castle, cultivation terraces south east of the castle, and site of Greenhalgh manor house as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Greenhalgh Castle was built in the 13th century by the de Lacy family, a prominent Norman noble lineage, and later held by the powerful Clifford family. It is remembered for its strategic importance in the north of England and its association with key historical events during the Wars of the Roses.
