This paper investigates finite p-groups, p \geq 5, in which every cyclic subgroup has defect at most two. This class of groups is often denoted by {\cal U}_{2,1}. The main result is a theorem which characterises these groups by identifying a family of groups in {\cal U}_{2,1}, and showing that any finite p-group in {\cal U}_{2,1}, with p \geq 5, must be a homomorphic image of one of these groups.
