What is recorded here

Motte and bailey castle with later moated site at Stonebridge Crescent stands in Solihull, England, recorded as a scheduled monument. A steep earth mound and a broad shallow ditch mark the place, suggesting a small defensive home that later became a water-bound courtyard. People may have lived beside the moat, watched the land or simply passed the crescent without knowing they walked past a castle. The ground still carries the shape of that choice.
