This site is set in low-lying land near to Summergil Brook and it is clear that it utilised wet defenses. A 10ft wide moat surrounds the mound which appears to have had a shell keep on it. A shell keep is a wall surrounding the mound. It is thought that these tended to be built where there were fears about the stability of the mound to support a keep tower. There is another 3-4ft high rampart to the N and traces of a bailey to the SW of the motte. It's general plan has similarities to the nearby Burfa site and it has been suggested that both were built at about the same time. It is also known that Edward the Confessor (1042-66) had a hunting lodge at Womaston so its history could go back a little further than Burfa. A lack of documentary references clouds the history of this site and its tenants although it was part of the Radnor Lordship and would have been controlled by the Braose family during the 12th century.
