The National Heritage List for England records Motte castle 150m east of Tump House Farm as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Built in the 12th century, this motte castle was likely constructed by a local Norman lord to establish control over the surrounding area. It is remembered as an important example of early medieval military architecture in the region.
