After seeing the damage done to this massive fort by new rifled cannon, Gen. Hunter made this profitic statement.
This explains the point a little bit. It was an extension out from the main fort to protect the main gate.
The moat goes completely around the main fort, with a separate channel around the Demilune
The only way to access the main gate is through the Demilune, so it is fairly protected.
This has obviously been restored from all the damage the fort suffered during the Civil War.
There are two draw bridges that must be crossed to get to the fort, this one to cross to the Demilune, and another to cross from the Demilune to the main gate.
The main gate and fort are hidden behind this point. During the Civil War, it was not raised as it is now.
