An Earthwork Survey at Kingshurst Hall - Solihull, West Midlands
Author(s): RCHME
The site of a motte and bailey castle and later house at Kingshurst (SP 18 NE 6), centred at SP 16678800, was surveyed at a scale of 1:500 by the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England (RCHME) in October 1997 at the request of the West Midlands County Archaeologist. The earthworks, covering an area of 0.36 hectares, are located within a housing estate and appear to have been re-modelled. The bailey was later adapted as a country residence and farm buildings were established to the north.
