Oxford Castle is a large structure that is currently in a state of partial ruin and may be found on the outskirts of modern-day Oxford in Oxfordshire, England. The original timber motte and bailey castle's moat and bailey had been replaced with a stone building by the end of the 12th century or the beginning of the 13th century, and the castle had developed into an important strategic bastion in the Anarchy fight.
