A motte-and-bailey castle once stood here — today it survives as earthworks in Leicestershire. The Albion Guide lists nine motte-and-bailey castles in the county; this is one of them. Other castles nearby include Ashby Castle and Whitwick Castle. Atherstone Station is 11.3 km away to the south-west.
Full name: Motte and associated earthworks at Shackerstone
