| Discussion | Deal Castle Commentary
"Deal Castle, Kent, is one of a remarkable group of coastal defense forts built in 1539 by Henry VIII. They were designed for artillery, and consist of a central cylindrical citadel, girt by a ring of half-round casemates, the whole enclosed by a moat conforming in outline to the fort." W. Douglas Simpson. Castles from the Air. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1949. p54. | ||
