A motte and bailey castle in Bradfield. The motte is 60ft high and the bailey is partially obscured by trees. The castle commands extensive views of the surrounding area and would have been an expression of power to those living in the surrounding area. It has affected the shape of settlement in the area: St Nicholas Church is built adjacent along with the hamlet of High Bradfield. Legibility of previous character types is uncertain as we have no evidence as yet for earlier landscapes.
