Visit Notes

Saturday, 15th December 2001

This small motte is almost perfect. Traces of its defensive ditch can be seen around the base and there is evidence of a bailey too.

A charming little place. There was a planning permission notice nailed to a tree by the gate, but it was too high to read!
