Huberts Folly

Huberts Folly is the earthwork of a hilltop castle planned by Hubert de Burgh in the 13th century. The earthwork is oval in shape, with a causewayed entrance at the west end, and seems to have taken advantage of natural contours when planning the defences, consisting of an outer ditch, then bank which forms a rampart around the enclosure. Today the site can be accessed via the private drive of a farm, who would be needed to give permission should you wish to see it closer up.
