It's a large motte in or near a private garden. It looks like the home owner has a small bridge over the trench and onto the mound itself, there is also a gate from the garden into the area where the motte is.
I didn't request access, so I can't say how happy the homeowner would be about these requests.
There is a small parking area on the road opposite.
