Survey_Report The survey shows a high resistance encircling the Motte, however this may simply be the ground geometry effect at the edge of the slope. At the SE corner there are two distinct lows running SE for 7m which may suggest filled in drainage channels. The north edge has some high resistance features suggestive of wall tumble. In the central area there are several high resistance features that also may indicate building footings extending over an area of 25m x 20m. The evidence is inconclusive. However, given the historic evidence of a Motte feature here, then a trial trench may be productive in establishing the archaeological potential. One percent of the area is 16 sq. m and two 8m x 1m trial trenches are suggested, on the central features.
