Monument record TR 34 SW 2514 - Fulbert of Dover's Tower, outer curtain Dover Castle, Dover Castle
Summary
Fulbert of Dover’s Tower, which is located between Peverells Tower and Cannons Gate, along the south western outer curtain wall of Dover Castle is a 14th-century tower in the western defences of Dover Castle, and is now a component of the Cinque Ports Prison. It is distinct from other towers in this section of the outer curtain wall, in having a rectangular plan, while structurally it is distinct from the adjoining curtain wall, and internal features (door and window arches) suggest that it may be of late 14th-century date. It is similar to the towers built at Rochester in Edward III’s reign (1327-77). (location accurate to the nearest 1m based on available information)
