Glottenham Castle, Medieval archaeological site in Mountfield, England.
The castle grounds contain stone walls, two square towers, and a gatehouse surrounded by a wide moat dating from approximately 1200.
The de Etchingham family owned and maintained this thirteenth-century fortified structure until its abandonment during the late sixteenth century.
The site illustrates medieval defensive architecture through its remaining structural elements, providing research opportunities for historians and archaeologists.
The location now functions as a camping destination with multiple accommodation options, including cottages and woodland cabins near the Sussex countryside.
Christina Rossetti, a Victorian poet, documented her experiences at Glottenham during her stay in the 1880s, connecting literature with this historical location.
