A motte-and-bailey castle once stood here — today it survives as earthworks in North Yorkshire. The Albion Guide lists 21 motte-and-bailey castles in the county; this is one of them. Spofforth Castle and Knaresborough Castle are among the castles within 6.9 km. The nearest railway station is Cattal, 6.7 km to the north-east.
