Monument Number 109116

Hob Uid: 109116
Location :
Shropshire
Woolstaston
Grid Ref : SO4678099060
Summary : Castle Hill is probably a natural mound rather than a motte as previously suggested.
More information : (SO 46789906) Castle Hill (NR). (1)

Thought to be an artificial motte, with a reference of 1172 (a) to
its abandonment (2, 3). Described as a natural mound, but probably the site of a manor house (4). Accepted as a motte by Hogg and King (5), but finally rejected by them and considered to be only a natural mound, the 1172 reference having been found to apply to the place only, with no mention of a castle (6). (2-6)

A natural mound rising 5.0 m above the surrounding ground. There are no signs of a building on the mound. (7)
