Full Description
[TR 14523329] Martello Tower (In Ruins) (NR) (1) [TR 14523329] Martello Tower (No.17) (2) No remains in situ, only a few fragments on the foreshore. (3) TR 146333. Martello No.17 built in 1805. It was practically destroyed by the sea before the Second World War, but the ruins are visible. (4,5)
The tower was built in 1805 but was largely destroyed by coastal erosion before 1939. A field visit in 1962 identified some ruins (3 and 6), and a publication in 1977 describes the some remains were still visible. (4) The collapsed tower was visible on aerial photographs in 1942 but no remains were visible on recent aerial photographs.
