Castle earthworks and barn at Thorpe Waterville is a scheduled ancient monument comprising the surviving defensive earthworks of a castle site together with a stone barn. The earthworks, which include a motte and bailey configuration, date from the medieval period and represent the physical remains of a fortified settlement. The stone barn, a later agricultural structure, stands within or adjacent to the castle precinct, indicating continued occupation and use of the site beyond its primary defensive function. The monument lies in Northamptonshire and is significant as evidence of medieval lordly power and settlement organisation in the region.
