What is recorded here

Hall Garth is a scheduled monument, a moated castle and fishponds in East Riding of Yorkshire. The official record protects the site, but it does not promise that anyone may walk across the water or touch the banks. The ponds may have fed a household, and the moat may have kept out more than rain.

The National Heritage List for England records Hall Garth motte and bailey castle, moated site and fishponds 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.

Built in the 12th or 13th century, Hall Garth motte and bailey castle was likely held by a local Norman lord or gentry family. It is important as a well-preserved example of medieval military and agricultural land use, illustrating the strategic and economic roles of such sites in the rural landscape.
