Photographs of this area are listed as "Castle earthworks, Melbourne". It appears to be no more than a long-established refuse tip. The earthworks appear to be agricultural and without any archaeological significance. (Derbyshire HER)

Gatehouse Comments

The castle earthworks label may never have actually applied to this location. This may just be a misreading of labelling on the air photo which could well have referred to the actual Melbourne castle earthworks 300m to the west.
