Monument record TR 24 NE 4 - Coldred Castle, Possible Medieval Earthwork near St. Pancras Church

Summary

A probable mutilated motte and bailey castle with the church of St. Pancras (TR 24 NE 3) within the north-west bailey. At Domesday the manor of Coldred was in the hands of Odo, bishop of Bayeux. The site has produced much Roamn and Saxon material and there have been suggestions that it is an enclosure of 8thC date. The dedication of the church to St. Pancras suggests Saxon origins.
