Ravelin

A ravelin is a triangular defensive structure situated in front the inner works of the fortress, normally on the other side of a moat. Its purpose was to divide an assault force and protect the curtain walls by means of crossfire. These triangular structures were placed outside the main enclosure of the fortress.
