Small earthwork near a stream called 'Round Hill (Tumulus)' on OS map. It is of an irregular shape and if it ever was a motte and bailey castle it must have been a very small one. It would seem that it was the site of the Manor House of the Botelers even if not actually a castle.
Appears to be a large building platform in a naturally low marshy area.
On the 1905 OS 1:2500 map a building of square plan is marked to the S; all that remains of this is a square platform. (Warwickshire HER)
Round Hill, Butlers Marston: ".. of an irregular shape and if it ever was a motte and bailey castle it must have been a very small one. It would seem, however, that it was the site of the manor house of the Botelers whose main castle was at Oversley even if it were not actually a castle itself". It does not give the impression of being a tumulus (Chatwin). Not a tumulus. This appears to be a large building platform in a naturally low marshy area. Chatwin's view that it was the site of a Manor House is probably correct (F1 FDC 26-SEP-68). (PastScape)
