Rougemont Castle in the manor of Harewood, in the parish of Weeton, North Yorkshire, England, is a ruined ringwork castle, now largely hidden within over-grown woodland, located to the south east of the village of Weeton, above the north bank of the River Wharfe, where the river turns in a right-angle at its confluence with Weeton Beck.[1] No above-ground structure survives but the earthwork features remain visible of building platforms, ditch system, outer enclosure and fish ponds.[2]
