The Gatehouse website record for Lyndhurst Park Hunting Lodge; Hatheburgh

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

In 1358 Edward III assumed control of the New Forest and immediately set about creating four hunting lodges, all of which were probably within the newly enclosed park (SU30NW6) he had created in 1354-5. These were the Park Lodge, Studley and Helmsley, and the most important at Hatheburgh. Each was of timber-frame and plaster construction, roofed with Purbeck and Cornish slates., and surrounded by a ditch. The Hatheburgh Lodge had a chapel, great gate and postern, and a long house containing the chambers and offices. Although the works were completed in 1361, a new hall and houses were built at Hatheburgh in 1365. An O.S. suggestion that an earthwork at Amberwood, in Hyde is the C14 royal hunting lodge known as Hatheburgh is refuted by P Stamper on the grounds that it is the wrong size and that Hatheburgh is known to have been situated in Lyndhurst Park. The site is also identified with Bolderwood Lodge (qv).
