Description

This is the entrance to a sentry box called a guerite looking down from high above the ditch and the Dauphin Gate..

After passing through the Dauphin Gate and just beyond the Guard House is the Dauphin Demi-Bastion. Along the upper part of the walls are 24 cannon arranged in a arch and were used to protect the harbour. On the land side the gun embrasures it is possible to see the fortress walls stretching to the King's Bastion.

In the center of the bastion are two buildings, a powder magazine and soldier's barracks. The powder magazine was designed with a vaulted roof to make it bomb proof. The windows were angled to ensure no stray sparks from outside got to the powder.
