What is recorded here

Roos Castle stands as a moated site with fishponds in East Riding of Yorkshire, marked as a scheduled monument. Water once surrounded the castle and filled ponds beside it, shaping a defensible home and a working food supply. The exact rules of entry are not known from the listing alone, so the place remains half-hidden behind its own boundary.

The National Heritage List for England records Roos Castle moated site and associated 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.

Roos Castle moated site and associated fishponds were built in the 14th century, likely by the de Roos family, a prominent noble lineage in northern England. The site is important as a well-preserved example of medieval rural aristocratic architecture and land management.
