Looks like Portchester castle, built in the 280s AD. <p>Greets<br>

I have the book Medieval Fortresses, and this is in it, it is a Medieval castle built within a roman encampment wall (they have a better shot showing the entire site too... I will try to find it today.<br>

I quite like dthis one showing the roman walls, and here is another one with a vertical view. <img src="http://stronghold.heavengames.com/history/cw/pix/gmap-portchester.png" style="border:0;"/><br>

Impressive that it is so well preserved- I saw (as a spectator) the ESG there in April on a very windy and wet day. As ever, the ESG (and their new horses) were impeccable!<br>

Actually it's a so-called 'Saxon Shore Fort', built indeed in the 280s, and later probably part of coastal command (but no-one is really sure of that).<br>
Later a medieval castle was built on it's grounds, and it was used as a landing place or a place to muster the army for overseas'action - I beleive Henry VIII set off from here to start his French campaign.<br>
<br>
Surely the best preserved Roman fort in the UK, even though there is a complete lack of understanding about the buildings inside!<br>

I would love to play cricket on that Portchester pitch! (though I think my mind wouldn't be on the game at all!! )<br>
