It's argued the Normans landed at Hastings, as at the time there was a bay and inland port there. The area was controlled by Pevensy castle, hence the reference to pevency but there was also a large inlet from Pevensy to Bexhill.
The battle was most likely fought at crowhurst. See secrets of the Norman invasion for more info
