Clavering Castle, Medieval fortification in Clavering, Essex, England.
The castle features a rectangular moated site measuring 300 feet by 185 feet, with earthworks positioned along the River Stort's southern bank.
Robert FitzWimarc, who served both Edward the Confessor and William the Conqueror, established his administrative center at Clavering Castle after the Norman invasion.
Archaeological excavations at the site uncovered evidence of continuous settlement from the Iron Age through Saxon and Norman periods until 1539.
The castle remains are accessible through a 31-mile cycling route that includes stops at Clavering Windmills and takes approximately 3 hours to complete.
The castle's moat, measuring 75 feet wide and 18 feet deep, connects to a series of preserved medieval pond systems and watermill structures.
