Clwyd Powys Archaeological Trust HER record of medieval motte reads 'Name suggestive of a mound. No mound recorded by RCAHM in 1913)'

Gatehouse Comments

Spur of land in isolated valley. Not an untypical site for a castle in this area and the valley is probably large enough to constitute a manor. Several medieval building platforms recorded nearby.
