The Mount is a motte-and-bailey castle situated in Buckinghamshire, England. The earthwork comprises a substantial mound with an associated bailey, representing a common form of Norman defensive architecture from the eleventh and twelfth centuries. The site demonstrates the typical characteristics of early medieval fortification design, with the raised motte providing a commanding position for a timber or stone structure. Though modest in scale compared to some examples, The Mount exemplifies the widespread adoption of motte-and-bailey castles throughout southern England during the Norman period.
