Wyberts Castle

The Wyberts Castle lies close to the medieval village centre.

It has earth ramparts and a moat which has filled in over the years but which is still quite marshy.

There is a causeway across the moat on the south side, but this is probably a modern crossing.

Originally, the moat would have encircled the whole site, with a bridge crossing it on the north side near the road.

Wyberts Castle, which is thought to date from Norman times, would have been defended by a wooden palisade on top of the ramparts with a strong tower, the fore-runner of the castle keep, within.

Currently, there is no public access to the Wyberts Castle.
