Ascot d'Oilly Castle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ascot d'Oilly Castle is situated north of the village of Ascott-under-Wychwood, Oxfordshire (grid reference SP304191).
It is thought that the castle was built around 1129 and it was demolished soon after 1175. There are fragmentary remains of a stone tower. It was excavated by Jope and Threlfall in 1959 when 12th century pottery was discovered.
