Motte, Castle Hill, Colzium: A rocky mound, about 1.8m high, at the S end of a roughly oval natural knoll which measures 61.0m N-S by 8.2m transversely, has been dressed to form a level circular platform 9.1m in diameter. There is no trace of the timber structure which was presumably erected on this platform.
