Magdalen Laver castle mound. / 1

Magdalen Laver, Essex ,England view map

Circular and moated.The motte is about 5 metres above surrounding land.

For once I disagree with the learned gent,Philip Davis.I think it's more probable that it was an adulterine castle,from The Anarchy,ie erected without the King's Permission,and reduced afterwards,as was the custom,re-used later as a mill mound.
