What is recorded here

Motte castle 200m south-east of Wavendon Manor is a scheduled monument in the City of Milton Keynes, England. The earthwork still stands slightly south-east of the manor, a buried or hidden landmark waiting for someone curious enough to look for it. Whether it is a mound, a ditch or a forgotten boundary marker, the designation protects the shape rather than explaining it. That much is clear; the rest belongs to the land and memory.

The National Heritage List for England records Motte castle 200m south-east of Wavendon Manor 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.

Built in the 12th century, the motte castle near Wavendon Manor was likely constructed by a local Norman lord to establish control over the surrounding area.
