Bampton Castle

The National Heritage List for England records Bampton Castle as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Bampton Castle was built in the 12th century, likely by the de Bampton family, and later held by the Crown during the medieval period. It is remembered for its strategic position in the Vale of White Horse and its archaeological significance as a well-preserved example of a motte-and-bailey castle.
