Earthworks are all that remain of this Norman motte and bailey castle, built around 1086. The castle was an unusual design. The motte was surrounded by a ditch, and was separated from its bailey by a marsh, spanned by a wooden causeway. The lake around the castle contained eels, which were a common source of food at the time. The castle was destroyed on the orders of Henry III. |
