Lavendon Castle

The frost-covered earthworks on the left side of the picture mark the north-western border of the inner courtyard of the Moth of Lavendon

Lavendon Castle is an Outbound castle in the village of Lavendon in the English county of Buckinghamshire .

A moth and ringwork were mentioned in the Pipe Rolls from 1192 to 1193. The mound was destroyed in 1944 while searching for remains from the Middle Ages. They found pottery from the 12th century. The mound had already been damaged in the 17th century when a farm with a terraced house garden was being built. Today only earthworks remain.
