Shocklach Castle is an earthwork enclosure fortress or fortified manor house, the successor to Shocklach Motte. The low 13th century D-shaped embanked platform, with the remains of its defensive wide ditch, stands against the slope of a brook. Standing to the east of the motte, the platform is possibly a later adaptation of its bailey. 3 miles north-west is Holt Castle and 5 miles south-east at Malpas is Castle Hill.
