In The Lord of the Rings, there is the great tower standing on a mountain called: red eye of Sauron. This eye can see all around and detect anyone approaching Mordor.
"Mordor was unique because of the three enormous mountain ridges surrounding it, from the north, from the west and from the south. The mountains both protected the land from an unexpected invasion by any of the people living in those directions and kept those living in Mordor from escaping."
Tolkien's description was too close for the liking of a War Office before and during WWII, when Swingate was erected on a cliff top in the form of three enormous towers with top secret radar to detect any incoming planes.
Dover was known to be the place where any unexpected invasion would come, from the lands in the directions yonder the mountains (across the sea).
