Motte, immediately south east of Nook Farm, is a medieval defensive earthwork of Norman origin located in Cumberland. The monument consists of an artificial mound characteristic of motte-and-bailey fortifications, which were widespread in England following the Norman Conquest of 1066. Such structures typically served as local strongholds for Norman lords, providing both residential and military functions during the medieval period. The earthwork remains a significant example of the Norman settlement pattern and feudal landscape organisation in the north of England.
