Artificial Mound in England
I thought this may be of interest to site viewers. Although not ancient as the castle dates from the 11th century, the energy here is amazing. I dowsed yesterday with rods and bobber.
A timber keep once stood upon the motte. To the east of the motte, the grassed area which visitors enter when they first arrive at the site was once the castle bailey. This was an area enclosed by a bank and ditch which contained dwellings, stables, workshops and outbuildings.
