Advanced Work #3

One long brass 12 pounder, two Royal mortars

This work and the others along the outer abatis were fleches, from the French for arrow., simple earthen fortifications open at the back, and here at Stony Point, modified for artillery with embrasures. The sides of the fleches were 12 feet at the base, tapering to 8 feet at the top. There was 1 sergeant and 8 infantry soldiers. The weapons were unable to be fired because the area was rushed by the enemy and the gun crew was captured.
