Details Remains of a motte. It lies in a walled enclosure and the surviving mound is some 12m high with a level summit measuring approximately 13m by 14m. It is labelled 'Moot Hill' on Knox's map of 1831. The Mound is probably completely artificial, but appears natural on the east and part of the north and could possibly be an altered existing small hill. There is no visible sign of a Bailey.
