Dymchurch Redoubt, Coastal fortification in Palmarsh, England
The circular brick structure spans 68 meters in diameter and rises 12 meters above a dry moat measuring 9 meters in width.
The redoubt, constructed between 1804 and 1812, formed part of England's coastal defense network during the Napoleonic Wars against French invasion threats.
The fortification contains 24 vaulted barracks arranged around a central parade ground, demonstrating early 19th-century military architectural principles.
Visitors can view the exterior of the monument by walking along the sea wall, though access may be restricted during Hythe firing range operations.
The structure collected rainwater through an underground cistern system and featured a collapsible wooden bridge for emergency defensive measures.
