Description: | Earthwork remains of a Medieval motte and bailey castle, dating from the late 11th century AD. The surviving masonry buildings and curtain walls probably date from the late 12th century, the circular keep may be dated to circa 1254. The outer earth works to the north and east, consisting of a bank with bastions have been interpreted as the possible remains of siegeworks, the castle was attacked in 1216, the fact that they are on higher ground may support the theory of siegeworks. Roman coins have been found in the castle.
