Eashing is a Late Saxon fortified centre located in Surrey, south-east England, dating to the ninth century. The site represents evidence of Anglo-Saxon defensive and administrative organisation during the Viking Age, when such fortified settlements served strategic roles in territorial control and protection of trade routes. The monument survives as earthwork remains indicating the former extent of fortifications that would have enclosed an important settlement in the region. Its significance lies in demonstrating the material and spatial arrangements of high-status Anglo-Saxon settlement during a period of significant political and military transformation in southern England.
