Martello tower number 66 was constructed in 1805-6 and was built to augment the firepower of the six-gun shore battery known as East Langney Fort or Langney Redoubt, built in 1795. It is located just to the north of Langney Point, Eastbourne. Over the years it has been subject to several modifications, such as the addition of a concrete roof for a gun emplacement during the Second World War. This structure is still extant, and in turn supports a temporary structure which is part of its current use as a coastguard station. The tower is both a Listed Building and a Scheduled Monument.
