It's a castle mound, a 'motte' built on ringwork. There once were stone buildings there 'coz the footings of the gatehouse have been found. Quite a warring neighbourhood, with nearby Radway, Wardington and Cropredy battlegrounds!

Hope this helps, don't know the date of the mound, but it certainly 'aint neolithic!
