Monument record TR 37 SE 69 - Fort Paragon, Margate
Summary
Napoleonic Fort in Margate. It is uncertain whether this record refers to Margate Battery or Fort Paragon, these may in fact be the same monument? The fort is marked on a chart of 1774 as 'Port P'. It is also visible on the Ordnance Survey 1st edition map where it is marked as Fort paragon. A tunnel found at Dane Hill in close proximity to this monument is thought to be associated.
