		Situated on the west bank of the River Rother in Rye Harbour, Tower 28 is the first in the numerical sequence in Sussex.

		Tower 28 is one of only eight of the Sussex towers to have been protected by a dry ditch, with an earth and shingle bank built up around the moat retaining wall, and an impression of its original appearence can still be gauged, as the tower is still relatively isolated from development.
