River Yare is in East Anglia Rivers.
The River Yare rises around Thuxton, Norfolk [Map] from where it flows past Coston, Norfolk [Map], Brandon Parva, Norfolk [Map], Barnham Broom, Norfolk [Map] after which it is joined by the River Tiffey before flowing past Marlingford, Norfolk [Map], Bawburgh, Norfolk [Map], Bowthorpe, Norfolk [Map], Colney, Norfolk [Map], Earlham Park [Map], Eaton [Map] to Old Lakenham [Map] after which it is joined by the River Wensum. Thereafter it flows past Thorpe St Andrew, Norfolk [Map], SurlIngham, Norfolk [Map], Brundall, Norfolk [Map], Buckenham, Norfolk [Map], Cantley, Norfolk [Map], Reedham, Norfolk [Map] to Berney Arms, Norfolk [Map] after which it is joined by the River Waveney then flows through Great Yarmouth, Norfolk [Map] where it is joined by the River Bure then meets the North Sea at Gorleston on Sea, Norfolk [Map].
Burgh Castle Roman Fort, Norfolk [Map] is a Roman shore fort where the River Waveney meets the River Yare. One of nine constructed around 250AD to hold troops as a defence against Saxon raids up the rivers of the east and south coasts of southern Britain.
It was possibly known as Gariannonum, although the single record, the Notitia Dignitatum, a Roman Army "order of battle", may perhaps be referring to the Roman site at Caister-on-Sea [Map].
