Site Description

NAR SN21SE8

Earthworks set along a hog-back ridge, with considerable slopes on the south, thought to represent a medieval castle, mentioned in 1116: a steep-sided oval mound, about 43m east-west by 34m, having an embanked summit area some 20m across, with a further oval, scarp-defined work, about 44m east-west by 27m, set immediately to the east.
