Boulsdon Manor, Newent, SO 71 24. Low mound, last vestige of motte? (Rawes 1977 ref. Historical Notes on Newent, 14)

Gatehouse Comments

Nothing like this in PastScape. Old coal shafts marked on 1887 OS map. A dubious reference from a local historian (i.e. not a castle studies expert). Given map reference is for Great Boulsdon Farm which was, presumably, the centre of the small manor of Boulsdon.
