Military Canal, Royal (1805), begins at Sandgate, Kent, and extends across the Romney Marsh to Cliffe End, Sussex; is 23 miles long, 90 ft. broad, and 18 ft. deep, and is defended by a parapet; was formed in connection with the martello towers along the coast during the great French War, but is now almost entirely superseded by the railway.
