• WM002-003 Castle - motte
  Description

  Situated on natural rise of reclaimed pasture-land with wide views of the surrounding countryside. Inny River 170m to W, motte located on edge of floodplains of the nearby river. Poorly drained land and bog to the S. Heavily overgrown flat-topped steep-sided earthen mound (H c. 6m) with slight suggestion of a fosse at the base of the mound. No bailey visible. There are a series of banks and slight ditches about the foot of the motte. There are natural hollows to the SE and SW which appear to have contained water at one time. The archaeological significance of these features is uncertain, they could have functioned as possible fish-ponds. Fredengren et al. (2010, 120) recorded that 'The motte at Doon originally possessed a small bailey, which was destroyed in the late twentieth century, but a probable fish-pond beside it survives, suggesting that the site was the caput of a knight of some status'.
