A motte-and-bailey castle once stood here — today it survives as earthworks in County Durham. It is one of three motte-and-bailey castles the Albion Guide maps in the county. For more of the same, Castle Hill (County Durham) and Harlsey Castle are close by. Dinsdale Station is 1.1 km away to the north.
