Grade II listed building. Main construction periods 1806 to 1806. A Georgian in date Martello Tower, number 15, is situated on the beach at the eastern end of the Hythe firing ranges (Monument Number 1531850). The tower, which is Listed Grade II, was constructed in 1805-6 as part of a chain of 11 regularly spaced towers guarding the coastline from Hythe to Dymchurch. The slightly elliptical, brick built tower measures up to 13 metres in diameter externally and stands to its original height of about 10 metres. The tower was constructed on three levels, with battered walls, designed to deflect cannon shot, ranging from around 1.6 metres to 4 metres in thickness, the most substantial section being the wall base on the southern, seaward side. The external face of the tower was originally rendered in a cement mortar, or stucco, which served to strengthen the outer skin of brick. This monument was scheduled in 1999.
