What is recorded here

Stansted Castle is a ringwork and associated bailey 100m north of Elms Farm in Uttlesford, England. The earthworks still mark the site even though the wooden structure is gone. A scheduled monument label protects the remains and warns that entry may be restricted. The shape survives where the building disappeared.

The National Heritage List for England records Stansted Castle: a ringwork and associated bailey 100m north of Elms Farm 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.

Stansted Castle was built in the late 11th or early 12th century, likely by a Norman lord to establish control over the surrounding area. It is remembered as an example of early medieval military architecture and as evidence of Norman settlement in the region.
