Eashing is a Anglo-Saxon fortified centre located in Surrey, situated along the River Wey in the parish of Godalming. The site represents a significant defensive settlement dating to the early medieval period, forming part of the network of fortified settlements established during the Anglo-Saxon era to protect territorial interests and control trade routes. Archaeological investigation and field evidence indicate the presence of substantial earthwork defences characteristic of high-status administrative centres of the period.
