A picture of Fort Nelson

To defend and clear the ditch if attackers managed to get into it there are Carponiers jutting out from the main ramparts. These carponiers contain guns to fire shot along the ditch; the 32 pounder smooth bore is an example of this. There are also firing positions at right angles to the carponiers to allow defenders to shoot any who managed to survive in the ditch and get near the defending guns.
