The Roman Fort at Burgh Castle: An unexpected journey

Burgh Castle in Norfolk offers a unique blend of history and intrigue. Built around the 3rd century AD, this Roman fort may have been known as Gariannonum or Gariannum, hinting at a connection to the Saxons. But the story of this site does not end with the Romans. Today, the site, known as an archaeological site and a scheduled ancient monument, is cared for by the Norfolk Archaeological Trust and in the care of English Heritage. It lies on the eastern bank of the southernmost part of Breydon Water and is close to Burgh Castle’s medieval church of St Peter and St Paul. You can visit the site for free and it is accessible to disabled visitors.
