Full description
All but the earthworks of Castle, said to have been built by the Wakes, had disappeared by Leland's time. He mentioned 'great ditches and the dungeon hill'. The outer moat which enclosed about 8 acres can be traced. Between outer and inner moats are irregular raised banks about 60 feet long and 30 feet wide.{1}{2}{3}
There is slight disturbance of the surface at site, but no evidence of building foundations, The earthworks represent early quarrying, a pond and a plough headland. Leland's description could not be associated.{1}
