The motte is a Listed National Monument which was purchased for the benefit of the public in 1979 from the proceeds of Thorne Town Lottery. The castle was possibly a hunting lodge for Hatfield Chase. A stone tower stood on the motte until the 16th century and there was probably a bailey to the south.
