Eashing
Eashing – the 30th burh to be cited in the Burghal Hidage
| Kingdom | Type of Burh | No. of Hides | O.S. Grid Ref |
| Wessex | Burghal Fort | 600 | SU940444 |
The probable site of the Anglo-Saxon burh is on a wooded bluff and meadow above the River Wey.
“ The site, centred at SU 948437, is situated on a promontory between two small valleys.
There is a low but definite bank on the east, west and south sides. Parts of this bank are tree-covered and much spread.
With its relatively undeveloped interior and its short term of occupation, perhaps only from 880 to 930AD the site might reveal a great deal of information about the nature of the late Anglo-Saxon town.”
