Dymchurch Redoubt was built near Dymchurch, Kent, between 1804 and 1810 to support the associated Martello Towers. Like its twin Eastbourne Redoubt it was designed as a barracks and supply depot for the towers, and armed with 11 guns. During World War II many pillboxes and observation positions were added to the parapet, and its current use by the Army prevents access.
