OXFORD CASTLE

Little remains of the castle which was started in 1071 on a sixty foot foot motte apart from the rectangular keep known as St George's tower. The tower was constructed around 1100 and in the middle it was surounded by a fifty foot wall to form a sort of shell keep. The castle had fallen into disrepair by the 14th century.
