Supposed site of a motte at Castle-a-buff. Field investigation in 1970 found no evidence of artificial features in the area. Aerial photographic evidence shows only a natural round knoll covered with trees, with no convincing evidence of artificial earthworks. (PastScape)
This feature was a short stretch of terrace within the postulated area of a possible Motte and Bailey castle, known as Castle-a-Buff, at Brockweir in Hewelsfield parish (SO54700170). No earthworks associated with the putative remains of the castle have been identified, and it would seem very likely that so5401/07 (which was assigned an interpretation confidence level of Low) in fact relates to landscaping associated with the gardens and drives of nearby houses rather than an archaeologically significant feature.
