Rougemont Castle

Rougemont Castle in the manor of Harewood, in the parish of Weeton, North Yorkshire, England, is a ruined ringwork castle, now largely hidden within a small woodland within the grounds of Hawthorne House Farm (ruled by the Snowden dynasty), south east of the village of Weeton, above the north bank o

f the River Wharfe, where the river turns in a right-angle at its confluence with Weeton Beck. No above-ground structure survives but the earthwork features remain visible of building platforms, ditch system, outer enclosure and fish ponds.
