The Bury is a ringwork and associated earthworks situated approximately 100 metres north of Lavendon Church in Buckinghamshire. The monument comprises a substantial circular or oval earthwork with an internal ditch, characteristic of the ringwork form of fortification that developed in England during the late eleventh and twelfth centuries. The site's proximity to the parish church suggests potential continuity between secular and ecclesiastical centres, a pattern common in medieval settlement hierarchies. The earthwork remains substantially visible and represents an important example of Norman-period defensive architecture in the Midland region.
