中世纪城堡的遗迹,motte and bailey。 motte and bailey城堡是由征服者威廉的表弟理查德-菲茨-吉尔伯特在诺曼征服后不久建造的。 这个地方以前是一个封建庄园和男爵的所在地。 是德-克莱尔家族在13世纪用一个石头堡垒取代了第一个木质结构,后来这个城堡成为德-克莱尔家族的家。伊丽莎白-德-克莱尔(Elizabeth de Clare)是英格兰最富有的女性之一。 作为她的主要住所,该城堡规模宏大、豪华,周围有广阔的场地,包括一个水花园和一个鹿园。 伊丽莎白需要大量的工作人员,据说她还进口了一些奢侈品,如葡萄酒、香料和毛皮。

这座城堡特别突出,因为它有100英尺(30米)高,底座有850英尺(259米)宽。 13世纪的守卫遗迹,包括部分圆塔和墙体碎片,在土丘顶部仍然可见。 这座城堡被一个双贝雷包围,可能由一条堤道连接,也可能是一座吊桥。 在传给王室后,这座城堡陷入了大东方铁路的建设摧毁了大部分的内堡。 遗迹是一个预定的纪念碑和二级*的建筑。 它们构成了一个公共公园的核心。
