Burgh Castle is the best-preserved Roman monument in East Anglia. During the 3rd and 4th centuries AD, the fort was one of a chain sited at intervals around the coast of southeast England. During its long history, the fort has also been the site of a Norman castle and an early Christian monastery. The remains of the fort itself are in the guardianship of English Heritage and the site is free to enter.
