Camber Castle
TQ 91 NW
Grade I (listed 3 August 1961: amended 13 May 1987)
Camber Castle stands in the middle of field but the footpath
to it is approached from this road. This was one of the series
of castles built by Henry VIII as coast defences in 1538.
Its plan is quatrefoil-shaped, with lunettes at the corners
and the entrance on the North side forming another lunette
or the stalk of the flower. It is a squat building of ashlar
lined with brick. In the centre of the square is a higher
round tower or keep of earlier date built of ashlar and lined
with brick for the top or second storey which has probably
been added. A Scheduled Ancient Monument.
