Save this place
A motte-and-bailey castle once stood here — today it survives as earthworks in North Yorkshire. The Albion Guide maps 21 motte-and-bailey castles in the county; this is one of them. For more of the same, Hood Hill motte and Upsall Castle are close by. The nearest railway station is Thirsk, 6.4 km to the north.
