As a part of the restoration of Sandgate Castle, near Folkestone, Kent, archaeological work traced the remains of three major periods of construction. The Castle was built in 1539-40 as an element in Henry VIII’s design for the defence of the English Coast. This paper gives the archaeological evidence for the Tudor castle, its alteration during the Napoleonic Wars into a ‘glorified Martello Tower’, and further alterations in 1859. An attempt is made to give a view of the fort after its construction in 1540 and its refurbishment in 1808
