Long Buckby ringwork and bailey

Scheduled monument

What is recorded here

The National Heritage List for England records Long Buckby ringwork and bailey as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Long Buckby ringwork and bailey is a medieval earthwork consisting of a central enclosure (bailey) and a surrounding defensive ditch and bank (ringwork), likely dating to the 11th or 12th century. While not specifically noted as a fairy fort in official records, such sites were sometimes associated with local folklore and may have been later linked to traditions of fairy realms or ancient supernatural activity in rural legend.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
