Chatham Dockyard Wall is a scheduled ancient monument forming part of the defensive fortifications of Chatham Dockyard in Kent. The wall dates primarily from the seventeenth century, constructed as part of the strategic development of the dockyard as a major naval shipbuilding and repair facility following the Restoration of Charles II. The fortification represents the physical manifestation of England's naval power during the early modern period and reflects contemporary concerns with protecting this vital military installation. The surviving sections of wall demonstrate the substantial engineering works undertaken to secure the dockyard against potential attack by sea and land.
