This tree shows signs of trauma.

It is to be found beneath a Motte – the remains of a medieaval Motte and Bailey, on the Fitzharry’s estate. Its an interesting wooded area in the middle of an Abingdon housing estate. Children ride bikes up the Motte.

The hole goes right through to high up on the other side of the tree so you can look through. Such holes build up over time whether through water, disease, or infestation.
