Situated on a low rise, on a NW-facing slope, in low-lying wet pasture, overlooking a stream c. 45m to NW. A castle site (WM029-034----) lies c. 40m to E. Depicted on the revised 1910 ed. OS 25-inch map as a small oval-shaped earthwork (approx. dims. 10m NE-SW; 8m NW-SE). Monument described in 1973 as a small, roughly circular-shaped mound of earth and stone the base of which is enclosed by traces of a fosse which is best preserved from SE-S-SW. The top of the mound is gently rounded. There are the remains of a square-shaped building (dims. 4m x 4m) at S which is defined by stone walls (H 2m) that are best preserved to S and W. Only the base of the N and E walls survive. Monument is visible today as a roughly oval-shaped tree-planted earthwork on Digital Globe aerial photography.
