The name Martello derives from Cape Martella fort in Corsica captured in 1794 by a British force. The towers were built along English shores as coastal defense, small circular masonry structures two stories high with vaults, stores below and troops above, often with a ditch and a ladder entrance 20 feet up, and a top platform for two or three guns.
