Description: A programme of excavations on and around the keep of Pevensey Castle established that the fort wall of the late Roman Saxon Shore fort was constructed AD 280-300, very possibly during the usurpation of Allectus.
Review Quotes: The excavations discovered important evidence for the castle's construction, development, repairs and decay between 1200 and the fifteenth century, after which the keep was filled with clay and used as an artillery platform against the threat of the Armada, then refortified once again during the Second World War.'--Christopher Catling "SALON - The Society of Antiquaries Online Newsletter, No. 260, 15 August 2011"
