A ruined Motte & Bailey castle protected by CADW on the Erddig estate. It was built in around 1150 along Wats Dyke to the north west.
There is a series of two large mounds, the one to the south being the bailey (the location of the coordinates) and the motte to the north being a sharper one where the tower stood.
It is under the care of CADW, although it doesn't appear on their site it does have a CADW logo on the sign on the site.
