Moated Manorial Site at Beaumy's Castle is a medieval earthwork located near Priory Farm in Berkshire. The site comprises a substantial moat that formerly enclosed a manorial residence, representing a form of domestic fortification typical of the medieval period in southern England. Such moated sites were commonly constructed from the twelfth century onwards, serving both defensive and status functions for the landed gentry and lesser nobility. The earthwork survives as a physical record of medieval settlement and land management in the region, though the superstructure buildings have long since disappeared.
