What is recorded here
Situated on a very slight rise in gently undulating countryside immediately to the S of Mayne church (LH022-002----) and consisting of a small flat-topped mound (max. diam. at base 29m, at summit 11m, H c. 4m). The base of the motte at the N side has been cut away by a modern trackway and the E side has been interfered with by the building of a structure and its subsequent removal. Part of the mound has also been removed at the W side so that the only side which has not been interfered with is the S. There is no evidence for a bailey or enclosing fosse.
