Beaumont Castle was a medieval castle in Mixbury, Oxfordshire, England, located at Шаблон:Gbmapping.

History

Beaumont Castle was a possible motte and bailey or ringwork castle built in the village of Mixbury, Oxfordshire, England. The castle was probably built by Roger d'Ivry following the Norman invasion of England.[1] The castle was probably called Beaumont because it occupied a natural promontory overlooking a local stream.[1] The castle was abandoned before 1216. Private excavations by two brothers from London in 1954–5 allegedly revealed a dungeon and an underground passage, although this discovery is disputed by scholars.[2] The site is registered as a scheduled monument.[3]
