People may have lived, worked or fled at that address before the land took the building back. The name preserves the shape of what is missing.
Farway Castle (Site of) is shown as a archaeological place on the public map of East Devon. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Farway Castle was a medieval fortress built in the 13th century, likely by the de Farway family, and played a role in the regional defense and administration of Devon. The site is important for understanding medieval military architecture and landownership in the region.
