A motte-and-bailey castle once stood here — today it survives as earthworks in Kent. It is one of three motte-and-bailey castles the Albion Guide lists in the county. It sits within the Kent Downs National Landscape.
The nearest other motte-and-bailey castle is Sutton Valence Castle, 9.1 km to the south. The nearest railway station is Bearsted, 2.3 km to the south-west.
