History . Pre - Conquest . The site of this castle is unusual in that the ringworks and earthworks that remain have been identified as predating the Norman conquest . Ringworks are medieval fortifications built and occupied from late Anglo - Saxon times to the later 12th century . A ringwork was a small defended area which contained buildings surrounded or partially surrounded by a large ditch and a bank topped with a timber palisade or , more unusually , a stone wall . Occasionally a more lightly defended embanked enclosure , the bailey , adjoined the ringwork . Ringworks acted as strongholds for military operations and defended aristocratic or major settlements . They are rare , and there are only 200 recorded examples , fewer than 60 have baileys . Clavering Castle is one of a limited number and very restricted range of Anglo - Saxon and Norman fortifications and the ringworks are of particular significance for investigating the period . A series of earth banks , channels and pond bays have not been dated but are believed to be associated with a former mill . These earthworks extend for 200m to the west of the castle along the banks of the River Stort . The River Stort flows around the north side of the site and has been diverted to feed the moat . Archaeological excavations have established that there was a pre - Conquest settlement and the later Norman castle . Lords of Clavering . The first known Lord of Clavering mentioned in the " Domesday Book " was Robert Fitz Wymarc ( an image of who appears on the Bayeux Tapestry . ‘ Robert ’ s Castle ’ mentioned in " Doomsday " is thought to refer to Clavering Castle . Wymarc was a Frenchman and was one of Edward the Confessor ' s closest aides . The site is identified as one of the castles to which the French party at Edward the Confessor ' s court fled in 1052 . Stone Coffin . A stone coffin was found in 1923 and is believed to have contained the remains of a Clavering Lord : Dates . Archaeologists have inspected the site and together with aerial photographs have dated the site as possibly 410AD to 1065AD early Medieval with evidence of an Iron Age British fort on a defensive site later built on by the Saxons and then Normans .
