Sea Wall at Littlestone

The shingle crest looking towards Dungeness showing the actual crest is as narrow as 3 metres in places. The original defence plan (2002) was a shingle depth (seaward) of 10 metres with an emergency shingle feed when and if the shingle dropped to 5metres. The hope was that the shingle would “draw down” and re-profile itself to naturally absorb the wave energy.
