| This is the possible site of a 13th century motte and bailey castle of which no remains are now visible. A fragment of the motte may have survived until the early 1900s and is shown in a photograph of 1906. Records of the site from 1794 reported that the remains of a wall surrounded the top of the motte. See also:
