Glottenham Castle

The Sussex manor of Glottenham has had boundary ditches since the 11th century, and the moat at Glottenham Castle is believed to date from around 1200.^[2] Glottenham Castle was built in the late 13th century. The castle had stone walls, two square towers and a gatehouse.^[3][4] The castle was owned by the de Etchingham family, before being abandoned in the late 16th or 17th century.^[2] In the 19th century, the land around Glottenham Castle was used for growing hops.^[5] In 1920, the castle's estate was sold at auction, and was listed as 595 acres (241 ha).^[6]

In 1990, the site was listed under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979.^[2] The site is now a popular camping and glamping site.^[7][8]
