Photo:The view is taken from the north west salient of the main rampart overlooking the north west mortar battery with firing steps in front. Beyond is the north west demi-caponier and ditch with counterscarp. The small (black) tunnel leads through to the roof and firing steps on the NW caponier. The casemates for the mortars are not visible beneath the rampart but the scaffolding poles in the bottom left of the picture are covering the rear vent to the battery.
