The rocky hillock above the farmyard has been described in The Gatehouse Gazetteer of Medieval Fortifications as: "A roughly rectangular promontory enclosure, with a bank and ditch to the N and E, whilst steep natural slopes complete the circuit on the S and w sides. Thought to be either a medieval earthwork castle or an Iron Age defended enclosure." Unfortunately there seems to be no public access. A farm of the same name stands below, to the right of this picture.
