What is recorded here

Glen Parva Moat is a castle in Blaby, England. Perhaps water once circled a hall now erased, forcing visitors to wade or wait for a bridge. Maybe the moat still holds its shape beneath grass, a hidden jar of rain and patience. Imagine dropping a stone into that invisible basin and hearing a knock return from below.
Glen Parva Moat is shown as a castle on the public map of Blaby. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Glen Parva Moat was built in the 13th century by the de Warenne family, who held significant lands in Leicestershire. It is remembered as a medieval defensive structure associated with the powerful aristocratic lineage and as an example of early moated sites in the region.
