Author(s): Mark Bowden

A level 3 analytical earthwork survey of the motte-and-bailey castle at Apple Dumpling bridge, Gosport was undertaken by Historic England in February and March 2020. Survey results confirmed that the earthworks represent a modified and spread motte with elements of an enclosing bailey surviving to the south and east. A Second World War pill box is built into the southern part of the bailey bank.
