This coin listed in:

H. H. King, (1955) ‘The Coins of the Sussex Mints: Part III: Lewes’ British Numismatic Journal - Volume 28, pg 530 - number 261.

The Chancton hoard was discovered on 21st December 1866 at Upper Chancton Farm, Storrington, West Sussex. Following the removal of an old barn and hedgerow, a “crock full of silver coins” was unearthed by ploughing. "A scramble took place among the labourers on the spot and many of the coins were carried away by them; the bulk, however, found its way to the Government". A total of 1,720 coins were recovered, of which, 58 were of Harold II, with the remainder of Edward The Confessor.
