100 yards to the west of the partly 12^th century parish church of St Michael lies a circular moat enclosing an island about 30m in diameter.

The motte is 37m in diameter and 2.1m high with evidence of buildings on its summit. The foundations are of a large shell keep. There are also indications of a substantial stone barbican.

The surrounding ditch is 1.9m deep, partially wet and approximately 50m in diameter. On the north side the ditch has been enlarged either to form a quarry of fishponds. To the north of the ditch are more foundations, which may have once been a gatehouse or bridge.

There is a bailey and outer enclosure on the north and northwest with evidence of buildings inside the bailey.

There are earthworks between the motte and the partly 12^th century church may be a Deserted Medieval Village.
