"Martello Tower. Circa 1808-1812. Vari-coloured brick, some plaster remains. Bricks made at Grays, Essex. Stone parapet. Rusticated stone dressings to 4 windows and a door at half height. Built at an approximate cost of £5,000 the garrison was stationed at Weeley Barracks due to the unhealthiness of the coast. The Tower guarded a sluice, which, in case of invasion, could be opened up to flood the surrounding marshes."
