This is the site of a possible Timber Castle which records show as
being destroyed in 1149 although there was mention of it exsisting
until 1178. All that remains to be seen is the earthworks and below
it runs the Pocklington Canal.
There is no parking available nearby and it is suggested that
you take a walk from the nearby cache at East Cottingwith which is
approx a mile away along the canal.
Please remember that water can be dangerous
for young children and keep an eye on them at all
times!!
This cache contains a clue to the
Pocklington Canal Multi-cache, other
