This flat rectangular area to south of the church is the site of a medieval fortified manor, rather than a castle. The manor was occupied from the 14th century to at least the late 15th century. Although robbed of all stonework above ground, foundations will have survived as the site has remained relatively undisturbed. It is a Scheduled Monument.
