4 miles NW of Ross on the banks of the River Wye on a low ridge south of the main road is Capel Tump, just to the SE of the parish church.

The mound is 44ft in diameter and 12ft high, the motte has a diameter of 40m and is 2.5m on the South and 3.5m high on the North. There are the remains of a bank around the flat summit, 4-6m wide and 0.5-1.2m high.

There is no trace of a bailey, although a depression to the southeast may be part of a ditch. The bailey may be underneath the church buildings to the northwest.

Finds from the adjacent Colley’s Forge suggest that this site may have once contained an early Norman castle.
