Burh

Peta lokasi burh menurut dokumen abad ke-10 Burghal Hidage.

Burh (pengucapan Inggris Kuno[ˈburx]) atau burg adalah sebuah benteng atau kota benteng di Inggris pada zaman bangsa Anglo-Saxon. Pada abad ke-9, Raja Alfred Agung mengembangkan sebuah jaringan burh dan jalan untuk menghadapi serangan-serangan bangsa Viking. Sebagian burh dibangun dari awal, dan sebagian dibangun dengan mengembangkan benteng bukit dari zaman besi maupun benteng-benteng peninggalan Romawi. Banyak juga burh yang terletak dekat sungai, seperti Lundenburh (kini London): desain seperti ini memudahkan jalur pengiriman dan perbekalan dan bertujuan menghambat pergerakan kapal-kapal air dangkal musuh, seperti kapal panjang Viking.
