SO 554679: A complex of earthworks: laid against the R Teme. At least two main enclosures are represented formed of ditches up to 2.1m deep with inner banks on the north and east sides. A motte-like mound (situated at SO 55396796 on the north bank of the R Teme) rises 3.4m from a ditch on its west side. A causeway 0.4m high crosses the site from its east side to the east corner of the churchyard. The complex is defensive, almost certainly early medieval, and probably or manorial origin.
