Ladykirk motte

Ladykirk motte was a large motte on the banks of the River Tweed which has been partially ploughed away.

It’s possible that it may have been a progenitor of Upsettlington Castle, although the presence of dressed stones on its south side perhaps suggest that it is more likely to have been contemporary with it.
