Broughton, Hampshire

In the civil parish of Broughton.
In the historic county of Hampshire (Modern Authority of Hampshire, 1974 county of Hampshire).

Turner and Parker write of Broughton in Hampshire "A licence to crenellate his manor-house here was granted in the 7th Henry IV to Thomas Wykeham. There are no remains excepting the mound." The licence refers to Broughton in Oxfordshire (qv), which Turner and Parker also describe. I presume the mound referred to is a bowl barrow of which there are several in the parish.

This site has been described as a;
Tower House
Fortified Manor House.
This site is rejected as a medieval fortification or palace.
