Clwyd Powys Archaeological Trust record of ?Motte reads 'Mound some 22m across locally said to be an antiquity (CPAT site visit 1980). No further details.'

Gatehouse Comments

Near farmhouse but otherwise isolated. Seems unlikely as a castle but could be farmstead held by military service. A mound 22m across is large enough to be a building platform for a significant building.
