View of the Battery from the Marker Location
Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: March 1, 2008
Caption: View of the Battery from the Marker Location
Additional Description: This view is very similar to that illustrated on the marker. Despite the overgrowth, the masonry works still stand. Note the firing slits, seen as very narrow "windows" in the brick, providing a field of fire against any enemy who has compromised the outer works.
