This is not far from the Church of St Nicholas and the Old Horns and is a bit of a hidden gem. The remains of the motte can be climbed (and should be) to appreciate just how hard it would be to storm one of these defensive structures. On top of the motte would have been a wooden keep which has long since gone. This and the church indicate the importance of this area around 900 years ago.

Hidden behind the Church of St Nicholas. Legend has it this place is haunted.

You can't really tell from the photo but the Motte is fairly steep and is easier to get up than down!
