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.
