What is recorded here

Old Mulgrave Castle is an enclosure castle in North Yorkshire that an 18th century planned landscape absorbed rather than erased. Its earthworks and ditches may have marked a private boundary, a defensive claim, or a household domain before gardens and roads redrawn the land. The castle did not disappear; it became a shape inside a newer design, visible only to someone who knows which line belongs to which century.
The National Heritage List for England records Old Mulgrave Castle: an enclosure castle incorporated into an 18th century planned landscape 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.
Old Mulgrave Castle was built by the de Mulgrave family in the 12th or 13th century and is remembered as an important medieval stronghold associated with the Barons' War against King John.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
