Abstract:		 In March 1998 the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England (RCHME) carried out an archaeological survey and investigation of the remains of coastal batteries at Grain, on the Isle of Grain, in Kent. The visible remains of the Grain defences comprise five batteries of coastal artillery, one of which was once a powerful garrisoned fort, occupying the eastern tip of the Isle. Four of these cluster along the coast facing into the Medway, while the fifth, Grain Tower, lies in the estuary on a tidal mud flat called Grain Spit, between Grain and Sheerness. All are of the 19th or early 20th century in origin and formed part of a greater defensive scheme for the Thames and Medway.
