The site of an Iron Age univallate hill fort which takes advantage of steep natural slopes in the west, a former marsh in the east and a natural ridge to the north. The site measures about 200m east to west and 110m north to south with an inturned entrance on the southern edge. (PastScape)

Gatehouse Comments

Has not been considered a medieval castle by an serious modern writer and mentioned by Jackson purely because of its 'castle' name and for completeness.
