Clavering Castle is a ringwork and bailey castle situated north of the Church of St Mary and St Clement in the village of Clavering, Essex. The castle dates to the Norman period, likely constructed in the eleventh or twelfth century following the Norman Conquest of 1066. The monument comprises a circular or oval ringwork with associated earthworks that once formed the defensive fortification of the medieval settlement. Though now reduced to earthen remains without standing masonry, the site preserves significant archaeological evidence of Norman military architecture and settlement patterns in Essex.
