A steep-sided, oval mound of earth and stone (H 4.5-6m; dims. at base c. 24m NE-SW; c. 16m NW-SE) encircled by fragmentary traces of a wide, shallow fosse. A large cavity on the summit (16.5m NE-SW; 12.5m NW-SE) and in the face of the motte at N is the result of quarrying. Traces of an unclassified castle (LF026-013002-) survive at E.
