Branodunum
Branodunum was the name of an ancient Roman fort to the east of the modern English village of Brancaster in Norfolk. Its Roman name derives from the local Celtic language, and may mean "fort of the raven".
== History ==
The fort, built in the 230s, became later part of the Saxon Shore fortification system. It was built to guard the Wash approaches and is of a typical rectangular ''castrum'' layout.〔''Johnston, D.E.(ed.)Council for British Archaeology Report 18: The Saxon Shore'', 1975, pp.3-5〕 According to the 4th-century document ''Notitia Dignitatum'', the fort was garrisoned by the ''Equites Dalmatae Brandodunenses'' ("Dalmatian cavalry of Bran()odunum"),〔''Notitia Dignitatum, Pars Occ.'', XXVIII.16〕 although a tile found on the site stamped ''Cohors I Aquitanorum'' suggests that its original garrison was the "First cohort from Aquitania".〔''Johnston, D.E.(ed.)Council for British Archaeology Report 18: The Saxon Shore'', 1975, pp. 8 & 27〕 There is possible evidence (burials and grave goods) of later Saxon use of the site.〔''Johnston, D.E.(ed.)Council for British Archaeology Report 18: The Saxon Shore'', 1975, p.29〕
According to the National Trust notice boards present on the site of the fort, the fort is within a rectangular field to the east of the current village of Brancaster; there is no urban development on the fort's site itself. Urban residential development in the 1970s has covered much of the area to the west of the fort where part of the local 'vicus' (surrounding civilian settlement) was situated.
