According to owner of Rockfield House (c. 400m to NE), 'all the old arches and large stones...here [in farmyard] belonged to the old castle' (Grove White 1905-25, vol. 1, 213). Traces of raised causeway survive, approaching site from W; according to Grove White (ibid. vol. 4, 168) this once incorporated 'a very ancient arched bridge', which Bowman (1934, 409) noted had been replaced by wooden bridge 'about 50 years ago.'
