As it stood in 1100
The shape it held in its prime.
A small-scale Norman ringwork: a low, rounded earthen motte and bank topped by a dense palisade of upright timber stakes, with a simple timber gateway set into the palisade facing down the grassy slope. A distinct lower bailey lies on gentler ground with wooden fencing and animal pens; the inner circuit contains a small, round enclosure that held the timber keep. Overall setting: open Essex fields and short grass slopes around the earthworks.
