This thing is unquestionably Fort Ligonier's most impressive feature: A defensive position so aggressive, it seems offensive! This is of course the Fascine Artillery Battery. Fort Ligonier originally had one of these monsters at both the east and west ends of the fort, and this reconstruction stands at the exact original site on the west side. If a bastion is a starfort's leading edge, this battery is practically a battleship sailing forth from the starfort.
