Medieval motte-and-bailey earthworks on a raised site above Deddington village — strong simple shapes, grassy ramparts and views over the Cherwell valley. Best at golden hour or low winter sun when contours cast dramatic shadows. Public, no entry fee; roadside parking in village. Weekday mornings are quieter; winter and spring reveal structure lines.
