A ringwork castle once stood here in Devon — the remains now lie below ground. The Albion Guide charts three ringwork castles in the county; this is one of them. It sits within Dartmoor National Park.

The nearest other ringwork castle is Broadbury Castle, 11.3 km to the north. The nearest railway station is Okehampton, 12.7 km to the north-east.
