Taylor's plan of Aberdeen (1773) indicates that a motte stood between the southern end of Ruthrieston Circle and Ruthrieston Road.

The location of a possible motte depicted on Taylor's 1773 plan of Aberdeen is not known. It lies roughly in an area that has been extensively developed for housing and is traversed by the A947 public road (Anderson Drive).
