Castle Dykes

Archaeological place

What is recorded here

Castle Dykes is a motte and bailey castle in North Yorkshire, England. Earthworks still show a circular keep, two side baileys and a larger northern court. Medieval pottery and an Iron Age plough fragment have been recovered there. The ground rises above deep valleys on three sides, giving the castle a commanding view and leaving only the west exposed to approach.
Castle Dykes is shown as a archaeological place on the public map of North Yorkshire. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
