Moat and rampart
Moat and rampart
The defences of Sandwich were a wall on the N and W sides and a rampart on the remainder. They were built some time after 1384/5 and renewed in the time of Edward IV. The wall and the Fisher Gate are scheduled. The two gates still standing are the Barbican and Fisher Gate. The latter, according to a plaque, was built circa 1384.
