A motte-and-bailey castle once stood here — today it survives as earthworks in Kent. It is one of three motte-and-bailey castles the Albion Guide lists in the county. It sits within the Kent Downs National Landscape.

The closest station is Bearsted, 4.3 km to the south. The nearest other motte-and-bailey castle is Thurnham motte, 2.1 km to the south.
