A motte-and-bailey castle once stood here — today it survives as earthworks in Northamptonshire. It is one of 13 motte-and-bailey castles the Albion Guide maps in the county. The nearest railway station is Peterborough, 13.8 km to the north-east. For more of the same, Barnwell Castle and Benefield Castle are close by.
