Earthwork remains of a small Medieval motte, mapped from aerial photographs. A Motte 3.3m high with a flat but mutilated summit 5m in diameter. A large hole has been dug on the east side. The ditch, 1.5m deep, around the east and south sides, ends on the bank of a stream on the west side. (PastScape)
North of Cwmma Farm and 2.8km north-east of the church, this circular mound is 27m in diameter at the base and rises some 5m above the lowest part of the ditch. A stream that runs through the ditch on the west couls have made this a wet motte. There is a possible bailey hidden in trees and undergrowth and much stone around the site, some diagonally tooled.
