A possible third castle site has been suggested here, but is very suspect. (Shoesmith ref. HAN, 1994)

Gatehouse Comments

No evidence from map features or field boundaries. If there was some sort of defensive feature here then clearly whatever earthworks it had did not resist even pre-mechanical agriculture and were, therefore, slight (compare on air photo with Fields Place moated site at SO41835378 1km north)
