The National Monuments Service's description

This is the site of a thatched castle held by Laurence Bealing who was described as an 'Irish papist' and 'indicted of Rebellion' in the Civil survey (1654-6) (Simington 1945, 104). There is no visible surface trace of the castle. Site currently under large commercial shed. There are extensive cropmarks of enclosures and field systems in the surrounding fields (DU011-007002-).
