Pipe Aston Castle is a low earthwork motte and bailey fortress, built in the Norman plan. Standing in-between the remains of two baileys, the motte is partly enclosed by wide ditch, with a counterscarp bank. The bailey is encased by the scarp of a stream, on the north side and a wide ditch, with the remains of a counterscarp bank, on the south side. A probable dismantled siege-castle to Aston Tump, the dense cover of trees, makes its best viewed in the winter. 4 miles south-west is Wigmore Castle.
