Gorsington is another name for Upper Court, Clifford Castle.

"Upper Court is another inferior manor [of Clifford Castle], ... It was also called Gorsington."1

Notes

Note: As to the meaning of "Cwrt Fychan": Cwrt = Court, Fychan = Little, so "Cwrt Fychan" = "Little Court". Adjacent to Clifford Castle are "Upper Court" and "Lower Court". Although one might think to associate Little Court with Lower Court, in fact Upper Court is smaller than Lower Court, so Cwrt Fychan probably refers to Upper Court, Clifford, Herefordshire, also known as Gorsington - TBD.
