Ravensworth Castle and Environs: Archaeological Survey Report
Author(s): Colin Lofthouse
Ravensworth Castle is located at NZ 142 076 in a large field of low-grade pasture at the south-east end of the village of Ravensworth in North Yorkshire, about 7km to the north-north-west of Richmond and 1.5km to the south-west of the A66 trunk road. It comprises the severely robbed remains of a stone-built castle surmounting an enhanced natural mound within low-lying marshland. The castle lies towards the north perimeter of a deer park within which are a number of earthworks, including the remains of enclosures, a dam, some fishponds and some evidence of garden landscaping.
