I wonder how big the iron age mound was because skipsea castle's "motte" is huge.


Hi Yorkshirepedestrian,

I asked Jim this very question this morning and he replied with dimensions of 13m high, 85m diameter, which I believe is the entire Skipsea mound.

I'm a little surprised by this, as i'd imagined an original IA mound which had been enlarged when the castle was built.

If the entire thing is IA, then...blimey.
