In this location in 1974, archeologists uncovered what appeared to be an original embrasure (an opening in the parapet to permit the firing of cannon). Excavations also revealed evidence of earlier walls or stone supports for gun platforms. This embrasure supports the supposition that guns were placed here to cover the best infantry approach to Fort Putnam from the north.

Marker can be reached from Delafield Road, on the right when traveling north.
