What is recorded here

Farway Castle earthwork enclosure is a scheduled monument in East Devon, England, marked only by a boundary line drawn around soil that has resisted every plough and forgetfulness for centuries. The earthwork still casts a shadow across the landscape, proving that human hands shaped the land before written memory arrived. Listing protects the shape but does not guarantee entry, so the castle remains a ghost visible only from a distance, waiting for someone brave enough to walk its hidden rim.

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.
