What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Farway Castle earthwork 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 13th century, Farway Castle was held by the de Farway family and later the Moreton family, reflecting its role in the medieval territorial landscape of Somerset. It is remembered for its well-preserved earthwork remains and its significance in illustrating the defensive architecture of the late medieval period.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
