What is recorded here
An aerial photograph (GSI N 397-8) shows Castlewarden motte and bailey (KD015-009001-) at the centre of a series of low earthworks: radiating off the bailey is a system of small fields enclosed by fosses, while a large area (est. dims L c. 120m E-W; Wth c. 110m) extending N, S and W of the motte is apparently defined by a fosse. The subsequent creation of Castlewarden Golf and Country Club on the site, has altered and obscured these features. Registered as a Historic Monument (Medieval Earthwork Complex) on 19-July-1976.
