Also known as: Castell Desborough, The Roundabout

Desborough Castle consists of a Norman ringwork, partly overlying a mound, possibly a barrow reused as a Saxon moot [1]. Both lie within a square enclosure, possibly an Iron Age or Late Bronze Age settlement or stock enclosure [1]. Desborough Castle was listed in 1933 by the Office of Works as a scheduled monument due to its importance as an archaeological site [1].
