Power Poles, Rhee Wall Emphasising the flatness of the terrain. The road is the A259 which runs along the course of the Rhee Wall from Brenzett to New Romney. The wall was actually a medieval watercourse built in an attempt to save the port of New Romney from silting up. By operating three sluices it collected tidal water from Appledore then released it into the channel at New Romney to scour the inlet. Nature defeated medieval ingenuity and the watercourse had been abandoned by the 15th century, filled in and being embanked was used as a causeway through the marshes.
