A motte-and-bailey castle once stood here — today it survives as earthworks in Oxfordshire. The Albion Guide maps five motte-and-bailey castles in the county; this is one of them. It sits within the Cotswolds National Landscape.

For arrivals by rail, Kingham Station is 7.2 km to the south-west. The nearest other motte-and-bailey castle is Swerford Castle, 7.2 km to the north-east.
