According to the OSL (Herity 2002, 33), ' … part of an old castle remains; A man named Ash lived in it about 30 years ago; it is still inhabited by a herd' . On level ground in open, gently undulating pastureland. A short portion of foundation walling projecting from underneath a later, 19th century farm building may form part of the remains of the castle.
