Although it doesn't look like much, Castle woods is a late 11th or mid 12th century earthwork motte and bailey fortress, founded by Ansgot of Burwell or Ralph de la Haye. The circular flat-topped motte, stands in the north-eastern part of a roughly circular bailey enclosure. The bailey which is divided in two wards by a broad east to west ditch, is encased by a steep sided partly wet ditch, with a counterscarp bank.
On the photo, the semicircular protrusion on the bottom left corner of the wood contains the mound where the castle once stood
