Harting Moated Site
Hob Uid: 242462
Location : West Sussex Chichester Harting
Grid Ref : SU7841019390
Summary : Medieval moated site near Harting church. Saxon, Norman and medieval pottery along with a Saxon coin and a 15th century key have been found on the site. This may be the site of the house which was granted a licence to crenellate in 1266, and was further described in another medieval document of 1349-50.
More information : [SU 78411939] (2) Site of moated crenellated Norman mansion in Harting churchyard. Finds include Saxon, Norman and Md. pottery, Saxon coin, 15th c. key, herring bone pavement, brick floors etc. One moat located. (1-3) There are no visible remains of this complex. (4) This is probably that manor house for which licences were granted to fortify in 1266 and 1349. (5,6) Strictly speaking the licence granted in 1266 to Henry Husse was a licence to crenellate. The reference to 1349-50 is a useful description of the house contained in a Close Roll (where it is dated 1350) but this is not a licence to crenellate. (7-8)
