Archeologists Investigate Richborough: The Longest Roman-Occupied Site In Britain

During its long history Richborough transformed on several occasions. From military base to prosperous port town, from supply base to Saxon shore fort. And the archaeology left behind is testament to Richborough's importance in Roman times.
