A motte-and-bailey castle once stood here — today it survives as earthworks in Leicestershire. The Albion Guide charts nine motte-and-bailey castles in the county; this is one of them. Oakham Station is 7.9 km away to the north-east. Other castles nearby include Sauvey Castle and Castle Hill motte (Rutland).
