NX97SE 19 9762 7472.

(NX 9762 7472) The RCAHM suggest that the small rocky knoll named "Paradise" has been converted into a motte by levelling its summit, scarping its flanks, and cutting it off by a ditch from a lower plateau on the SE. The NW side has been altered by the construction of the modern road, which has exposed the rock. It is oval on plan, measuring some 76 ft E-W by 44 ft transversely. (This may be modern landscaping, or this could be the original motte, superseded by the later castle NX97SE 2.)
