It is scheduled under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979.[1] The motte is about {{convert|42|m|ft}} in diameter and encircled on three sides by a ditch, outside which lie two additional baileys. Within the baileys have been found pottery fragments of the 13th–15th centuries, and Iron Age and Romano-British fragments have been recovered to the east of the remains.[1] A short distance to the west are remains of another motte-and-bailey castle, along with a moated enclosure and a Roman villa.[2] The name associates it with the ancient British king Cunobeline (Cymbeline), although this may be a Victorian invention.[1] (There is also a theory that the nearby villages of Great Kimble, Little Kimble and Kimble Wick are named after Cymbeline;[3] however, this has been discredited, as the etymology of Kimble is a description of the hill rather than a name.[4]) It is said that if one runs around this mound seven times, the devil will appear.[5] References1. ^1 2 {{NHLE|desc=Cymbeline's Castle|num=1013941|accessdate=10 March 2013}} 2. ^{{NHLE|desc=Motte and bailey castle, moated site and Roman villa immediately east of All Saint's Church |num=1018007|accessdate=10 March 2013}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.visitoruk.com/historydetail.php?id=3892&f=Aylesbury|title=Kimble|date=2005|publisher=visitoruk.com|accessdate=2010-09-11|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://archive.is/20130217001614/http://www.visitoruk.com/historydetail.php?id=3892&f=Aylesbury|archivedate=2013-02-17|df=}} 4. ^{{cite book|title=The Oxford Names Companion|last=Hanks|first=Patrick|authorlink=Patrick Hanks |author2=Flavia Hodges |author3=A.
