A small earthwork 300 yds from the river and just outside Batworth Park, consists of a raised mound surrounded by vallum and fosse which are preserved to the NE where the entrance is. Over a wide area to the west the bank and ditch have disappeared. Nothing has been found to indicate the date of the earthwork but it is suggested that it is one of Henry I's siege castles.
