Description
NAR SN44SW1

A steep-sided sub-circular mound, set on the butt-end of a north facing ridge set above the Clettwr valley, thought to represent a medieval castle motte: the mound, some 30-34m in diameter, rises from 3.2m to 5.5m to a level summit, perhaps originally about 16m across; the mound is ditched about & remains of a counterscarp can be traced about its northern perimeter.
