Moat Feeder Canal
In wartime the moat was filled with water
from the South Channel of the Savannah
River. This feeder canal featured stop-lock
gates which provided water control and
access to small barges bringing supplies to
the fort. When filled from this ditch, the
moat formed an effective barrier to hinder
the approach of infantry.
