Abstract:		 Three places named in early documentary sources, the burh of Haestingaceaster, Haestingaport where Duke William constructed a castle before the battle of Hastings, and the town of Hastings have been assumed to be synonymous. There is, however, little or no tangible evidence for any significant pre-Conquest settlement at Hastings . Newly documented archaeological evidence from Pevensey Castle suggests that there was substantial settlement within the Roman walls throughout the middle and late Saxon period while topographical evidence suggests that Hastings was an unlikely site for an Alfredian burh. It is proposed that the burh of Haestingaceaster was situated within the Roman walls of Pevensey Castle and that the borough of Hastings was a mid-llth century or a post-Conquest creation. The name of Haestingaport could apply to either of these settlements.
