Located on the E-facing slope of the hill that has the motte and bailey (ME006-010----) at its summit. An aerial photograph (GB92.FD. 05), taken in September 1992, shows three large roughly rectangular fields (dims c. 100m NE-SW; c. 90-140m NW-SE) defined by broad scarps curving N-E-S descending the slope from the motte and on the N side of the road (ME006-010001-) and on the N side of a current WNW-ESE field bank and covers an area of about 15 acres (c. 6ha).
