Motte, immediately south east of Nook Farm, is a medieval earthwork monument consisting of an artificial mound typical of early Norman fortification design. The structure dates to the late eleventh or twelfth century, representing the defensive architecture employed in Cumberland during the period following the Norman Conquest. The motte survives as a substantial raised platform, characteristic of the motte-and-bailey form of fortification common to northern England during this era. Such earthwork castles served as important focal points for Norman territorial control and local administration in the borderland regions of northwest England.
