Little remains now beyond the raised mound of the motte in a corner of the churchyard. The motte stands only 3 metres high, and is about 20 metres in diameter. A shallow depression to the south of the mound marks the likely site of the earthwork defences. The mound was built near the main route from Welshpool (now the A458).
