Location : County of Herefordshire Putley
Grid Ref : SO6485037320
Summary : Small mound with a stunted tree, supposed site of Putley Castle. No trace of the mound or the tree were found during field survey in 1971.
More information : All that remains (of Putley Castle) is a small mound with a stunted tree on the top. It evidently consists of stones overgrown with grass. One of the oldest inhabitants told me that it has always been known as 'Putley Castle', and he remembered quite a lot of the wall standing when he was a boy. Some of the wells (?walls) at Newtons Farm have been built of the stones and also the lodge gates of Putley Court. (SO 6485 3732 - sited from plan). (1) Site of castle and moat 1/2m SE of Putley Court. (2) No trace of a mount at the indicated site or in the immediate vicinity. (3)
