two circular moated forts were built on islands in the river medway in the 1860s, here seen from hoo church tower. both remain remarkably complete though almost inaccessible. like many of these forts, the weight of guns and granite were a problem, causing foundations to sink into the marshy ground, so these buildings are unlikely to be turned into hotels or shopping malls anytime soon.
