Remains of fort/castle. Traces of scarps and ditches can be seen around the top of the knoll, but no structural remains survive, except two blocks of masonry embedded in the ground at the southwest end. The OS Name Book recorded that many stones had been removed from the site 'within living memory 'and vitrified stones have been found, though none have been found during fieldwork. Local tradition attributes the castle to the son of Hamlyn de Trope (Troup) but the discovery of vitrified material suggests earlier occupation.
