Pevensey Castle is a medieval castle and former Roman Saxon Shore fort at Pevensey in East Sussex. The Romans built the fort around 290AD and it was used until the end of the Roman occupation. Reoccupied in 1066 by the Normans, defences were constructed and later a stone castle was built within the Roman walls and occupied until the late 16th century. The site became a crumbling, partly overgrown ruin until it was acquired by the state in 1925. The castle was reoccupied during the Second World War, when it was garrisoned by units from the Home Guard, the British and Canadian armies and the United States Army Air Corps.
