(Ancient name; Damelsa Castle). Defines by two ramparts with infilled ditches. Possible third rampart to the east (curved raised field boundary in LiDAR). First written reference in 1750 by Hals who described a third rampart. Whole area heavily degraded by farming. Last site visit in 1979. No recorded excavations or finds, hence undated.
