A motte-and-bailey castle once stood here — today it survives as earthworks in Buckinghamshire. The Albion Guide charts ten motte-and-bailey castles in the county; this is one of them. The nearest railway station, Woburn Sands, is under a kilometre away. The nearest other motte-and-bailey castle is Ampthill Castle, 10.6 km to the east.

Full name: Motte castle 200m south-east of Wavendon Manor
