Scholars describe Ryther Castle as a modest, fortified manor, likely never having substantial defences. It is also known by the name Hall Garth, referring to the field where it stood. The castle's decline is suggested by a 1440 report on Sir William Ryther's estate, which described the manor house and several cottages as being in a "ruinous" or "waste" condition. By the time the de Rhythre family relinquished the estate, the structure was a total loss. Today there is nothing to see here, merely an overgrown beck and bog, largely obscured by trees.
