History
Cornwallis Fort was one of five forts built under this plan. It was located at the west side of the town. The palisade ran southeast from the fort to Horseman's Fort and northwest to Halifax Citadel, the next fort in the line. The palisade was designed with intermediate angles that allowed the defenders to direct enfilading fire along the walls without hitting the occupands of the next fort.

Deactivation date unknown.

Current Status
No remains. No period guns or mounts in place.
