Summary : The remains of a moated motte. The motte is 4 metres in height and 36 metres in diameter. The moat, now dry is 6 metres in width and 2 metres in depth on all but the south side where it opens onto low-lying ground, formerly probably marshy. A survey in the 1940s suggested that the site of the bailey was to the east of the castle, and area now covered by farm buildings that have even encroached on part of the moat. Scheduled.
