Roman sites in Norfolk
Burgh Castle is a Roman Saxon Shore fort, built in the 3rd century overlooking Breydon Water and the outlet of the River Waveney. The Romans built a trapezoidal fort here sometime between AD 260-280. We know very little about the fort, but we do know that the Stablesian cavalry was stationed here in the mid 4th century.

Venta Icenorum was a Roman civitas, or administrative centre, built around AD 70, following the failure of Boudicca's revolt. It served as the capital of the Boudicca's Iceni tribe, the most powerful of the native British tribes in East Anglia. Loosely translated, the name Venta Icenorum means 'market-place of the Iceni'.
