monument, mound, interesting place
North of the hamlet of Baarsdorp in the municipality of Borsele in the Dutch province of Zeeland are two mottes.
A motte is a mound, often artificial, topped with a wooden or stone structure known as a keep. The earth for the mound would be taken from a ditch, dug around the motte or around the whole castle. The outer surface of the mound could be covered with clay or strengthened with wooden supports.
