What is recorded here

Canfield Castle and its moated enclosure stand in Uttlesford, England, marked as a scheduled monument. Whether the moat drowned invaders or merely reflected sky, that water edge still draws the eye inward. The castle has lost much of its visible form, but the enclosure preserves the shape of a life that once turned on defense, status and daily routine.

The National Heritage List for England records Canfield Castle and associated moated enclosure 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.

Built in the 14th century, Canfield Castle was held by the de Canfield family, a local landowning family in the area. It is remembered for its strategic position and as an example of medieval moated castle architecture in the region.
