SJ 29312114 A roughly circular motte, 26.0m. in diameter and now 1.0m. high is situated in marshy ground near a stream crossing. Traces of a shallow ditch are visible on the NE side of the mound, but there is no evidence of a bailey. A roughly dressed triangular stone near the centre of the motte is probably a modern memorial stone.
Surveyed at 1/2500. (2)
This location falls within the area mapped from aerial photographs by RCHME's Marches Uplands Mapping Project, but the mound was not recorded by that survey. (3)
Assessed for scheduling, which has been rejected. As described above, although it may also have been a little higher and may have supported a watch-tower. There is evidence of a buried ditch 5m wide around the motte. Normal planning controls should apply. (4) |
