Earthworks of a medieval castle recorded as having been destroyed in 1209.
The castle occupies an isolated natural knoll with low lying, damp ground on all sides but the north. It consits of a massive ditched mound or motte, at the north-east end of a pointed oval embanked enclosure or bailey.
The steep-sided flat-topped castle mound is rather oval in plan, about 46m east-west by 35m, and rises 9.2m to a summit some 24m by 14m across. The embanked bailey is roughly 120m north-east to south-west by 88m and shows traces of an external ditch.
