The Knapp, Castle Pulverbatch, Shropshire
The motte and bailey site at Castle Pulverbatch, known as the Knapp, dates from the 11th century and was by the Normans, looking out for Welsh attack, as a strategic vantage point along the Shrewsbury- Bishop's Castle road . It is common land and over the years has been used for innumerable picnics, community gatherings and children's play. It is now classified by English Heritage as an ancient monument and nature reserve. There are excellent views of the Stretton Hills and the Wrekin.

The Knapp at Pulverbatch
The Knapp is the local name for this Motte & Bailey structure just to the southwest of Pulverbatch. It's one of the best-preserved examples of its type in the country, and is thought to have been built in the 10th or 11th century AD. The motte is the conical mound in the background, which would have been topped by a stone or wooden tower, and surrounded by a fence. The bailey, or in this particular case, a double-bailey, is the embanked enclosure surrounding the motte, which protected a series of buildings associated with the motte tower.

The motte at Castle Pulverbatch
The castle was probably built in the late 11th century but it had been abandoned by 1202. The motte still stands at over 20 feet high, surrounded by a deep ditch on two sides and earthworks.
