Tute Hill
NY 124-308 Cumbria England

Tute HillTute Hill is a late 11th century earthwork motte, founded by Waldeve, son of Gospatric, earl of Dunbar. The oval truncated mound is the predecessor to Cockermouth Castle but the position of its bailey has been lost. Standing on a plateau, which overlooks the confluence of the Rivers Cocker and Derwent, the earthen motte was previously thought to be a windmill mound or a natural feature.
