What is recorded here

Sapcote Castle and moat is a scheduled monument in Blaby, England, where excavations near Toot hill revealed medieval pottery, iron slag, and wattle impressions. The site also preserved fishpond silts, buried metalled surfaces, and a bailey ditch later filled with building rubble. These remains suggest a working castle landscape of smithing, building, farming, and water management rather than a dead ruin.

The National Heritage List for England records Sapcote Castle and moat 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.

Sapcote Castle was built in the 13th century by the de Sapcote family, a local landholding family in Leicestershire. It is remembered for its strategic position and as an example of medieval military architecture in the East Midlands.
