(Location formerly cited as NN 219 784: indicated on map with scheduling document at NN 2184 7842 and accepted as motte). The monument consists of the remains of a small motte. Built in an area of boggy ground, there does not appear to have been an associated bailey but there are clear remains of a bank running round the foot of the motte. This was probably the base for a palisade. The bank is not visible to the E of the motte due to erosion, either from the river or from damage during forestry operations. There appears to have been some minor quarrying of the motte on its E side.
