Rhee Wall, Kent

Rhee Wall is a former 13th-century watercourse on Romney Marsh in Kent. It is 7½ miles long and runs from Appledore south-east through Snargate, Brenzett and Old Romney to New Romney. The Rhee Wall forms a boundary between Romney Marsh proper, to the north-east, and Walland Marsh to the south-west. It consists of two parallel earth banks, from 150 to 350 feet apart, the ground between being raised above the marsh on either side. The Rhee Wall has not contained water since mediæval times and has since been used as a dry causeway above the marsh. The present-day B2080 and A259 follows the route of the wall. The routeway is within the council areas of Folkestone and Hythe (Kent) and Shepway.
