Artillery Blind

 

This stone structure was probably an artillery blind or epaulment (a breastwork to cover troops in front and sometimes in flank) constructed in 1794 to protect gunners from fire from redoubt 4 on Rocky Hill just west and above Fort Putnam. This area of the fort is clearly visible from the Redoubt.

Marker can be reached from Delafield Road when traveling north.
