The National Monuments Service's description
The precise location of this castle is unknown. In 1839, it was recorded as 'the site of an old Castle about fifteen perches [c. 65m] east of the Church [CL051-077001-] in the same field.' (OS Letters ii, 117). The location indicated here should only be considered as indicative of the general area.
