Moated Manorial Site at Beaumy's Castle is a medieval defensive earthwork situated north-east of Priory Farm in Berkshire. The site comprises a moated enclosure that served as the residential and administrative centre of a manorial holding, with the water-filled ditch providing both practical defence and a symbol of lordly status characteristic of medieval gentry settlements. Dating from the medieval period, the moat survives as an archaeological monument documenting the settlement patterns and land organisation of medieval Berkshire, though the domestic structures that once stood within the enclosure have largely disappeared. The site forms part of the broader landscape of medieval settlement and territorial control in the region.
