The look at Pevensey Castle is to slowly unfold the pages of English history, a story of invasion, defence and defiance. It starts with the Romans, the first invaders, who built the fort in around 280 as part of their coastal defences against attack by the Saxons and Jutes; these coastal defences were commanded by a new officer the `Comes Litoris Saxonier` (Count of the Saxon Shore) and Pevensey (Roman Anderitum) was the main post in Sussex. The fort covers nine acres, the walls form an oval unusual for a Roman fort but probably dictated by the site which was an irregular peninsula jutting out into the then estuary.
