DisgrifiadThe currently ditchless motte, 34m in diameter and 4.8m high, has been adapted as a garden feature (see Nprn265265), with a spiral walk, yew plantings and a wall about the 16m summit. The bailey, now isolated by a modern road, north of the motte, has a remaing area of 24m by 28m, and is defined by a bank with a ditch to the west and steep slopes to the north-east and east.
The motte lies some 130m south of St Ismael's Chruch (NPRN 303545) and the two are likely to have been associated. It has also been suggested that , rather than representing a medieval castle, the 'motte' was originally a viewing platform for the gardens of Camrose House.
