What is recorded here

Caludon Castle stands as a moated site in Coventry, part of a wider water management system. The castle ditch and surrounding channels show how people shaped water flow to defend, drain or control the land. Whether the moat blocked invaders or simply tamed flooding, the stones and soil still mark that choice.

The National Heritage List for England records Caludon Castle: a moated site and part of an associated water management system as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Caludon Castle was built in the 13th century by the de Montalt family, later held by the Giffards and other local gentry. It is remembered as a strategic stronghold in the borderlands between England and Wales and for its well-preserved moated site and water management system.
