What is recorded here
Castle Farm, St Georges-Super-Ely is a fortified farmhouse from the Medieval period, meaning it was built to defend people and property as much as to grow food. In the Vale of Glamorgan, that mixture of kitchen and castle suggests a household where daily life never fully released its guard. The farm may have smelled of bread, straw and wood smoke while its walls still answered the danger of raiding, dispute or border instability. Strength and ordinary sustenance shared one roof, and that is still written into the place.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Castle Farm, St Georges-Super-Ely as Farmhouse; Fortified House from the Medieval period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
