Unusually it seems that when the Normans built their fancy 2-motte and bailey castle here, they didn't utilise the earthworks that already existed: the defenses of the Iron Age Burley Camp.
Leslie Grinsell's source hinted that a crock of gold is buried here, but that anyone who attempts to dig for it is scared off by the eldritch thunder and lightning that ensue.
