A Georgian Martello tower, number 14, 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 1805-1806 as part of a chain of 11 regularly spaced towers guarding the coastline from Hythe to Dymchurch. The slightly elliptical, brick built tower measures around 13 metres in diameter externally and stands complete 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 bricks. This monument was scheduled in 1999.
