Dymchurch Redoubt is an early 19th century redoubt (circular fortification) near Dymchurch, Kent. The redoubt was constructed between 1804 and 1812, to support a defensive chain of 21 martello towers, guarding the coastline of Romney Marsh between Hythe in Kent and Rye in Sussex. It was specifically designed to help protect the Marshland sluices which emptied into the sea at Dymchurch. The circular redoubt is brick built, with granite and sandstone dressings, and was constructed on two levels. It is within the council area of Folkestone and Hythe (Kent).
