Saxon Shore

Roman coastal defences constructed in the 3rd and 4th centuries from the Wash to the Solent to prevent incursions by the ‘barbarian’ tribes of the Continent, especially the Saxons. Strategic harbours and estuaries were fortified to withstand sieges and a fleet of ships (classis Britanniae) was established.
