II*
Ancient Monument. All that remains is a fragment of the keep on top of what was a Saxon mound, and some walling lower down.
Originally said to have been built by one of the Earls of Clare. After its alienation it went to the Barnardistones. In the reign of Charles II it passed to the Elwes of Stoke until 1825, when it was bought by John Barker of the Priory, in which family it remained throughout the century.
