"Early burial mound or low". Gregory, 1/4 mile NE of
Weston Jones, in Weston Jones parish. Oval, diameters 180 ft &
150 ft, 8 ft high. Altitude 300 ft. (1)

(SJ 76782428) Sited from air photographs. (2)

Small oval field shown and described as "Castle Bank." (3)

Large oval mound situated on low-lying ground on the flood plain
of a small stream. The mound is flat topped and measures 67m by
50m by 2.5m high. There are remains of a ditch with outer bank
on the NW & SE quadrants. There is no certain evidence of a
bailey.

The field name - 'Castle Bank' - suggests that this may be a
castle mound but the poor topographical position makes this
uncertain. (4)

No change: published 1:2500 survey correct. Probably a low motte
without bailey. (5)

(SJ 76782428) Mound (NR). (6)

An early circular motte at Weston Jones. (7)
