Glottenham Castle is a medieval moated site located in Sussex, England, dating to the medieval period. The monument comprises a substantial defensive earthwork consisting of a mound surrounded by a water-filled moat, a characteristic feature of high-status medieval domestic sites. Such moated enclosures were typically constructed between the 12th and 16th centuries and served as fortified residences for minor nobility or affluent landowners. The site represents an important example of medieval settlement archaeology and demonstrates the widespread adoption of moated fortifications across southern England during the later medieval period.
