motte

The entrance was probably on the north side of the motte.

Other than this, the motte has no further recorded history.

There is a small Norman motte close to the church.

After the war the motte became used as a bowling green until the 19th century.

The castle was built on the site of a 12th-century motte.

The former 11th-century motte stands to the northeast of the church.

On the west side of the village is a small Norman motte.

To the east of the motte is the castle bailey.

A keep and a protective wall would usually be built on top of the motte.

It originally took the form of a motte and bailey.

The current keep was built on an earlier mound, known as a motte.

They suggested that the hill may have been a 12th-century Norman motte.

A windmill was built on top of the motte between 1561-2.

In the 13th century, they built the motte and a keep, divided into three levels.

There was a gate on the town side, adjacent to the motte.

Today, only the keep, which is 20m high (60 feet), remains on a low motte.

It is estimated that the motte would have taken around 24,000 man days of effort to build.

And then Motte would have been ready if they brought in a pinch hitter.

However, there was at the very least a motte (the mound of which can still be seen in the village).

A motte and bailey castle was built in the 12th century.

This was a motte and bailey castle built around 1090.

Eventually they also built a small stone castle near the motte.

This motte and bailey castle stood in the north part of the town.

But the first sign of trouble from Motte will throw the closer role into question again.

It was built in stone around 1100 on the site of the primitive motte.
