Description
The motte at Boughrood is roughly 35m in diameter and 3.5m high and shows strong indications of masonry upon its 10m diameter summit area. The south-east part of the mound has been cut away by the buildings of Castle Farm (Nprn82234). Elements of a ditch and counterscarp system, away from the farm buildings, may perpetuate the line of a bailey enclosure.
