History
Horseman's Fort was one of five forts built under this plan. It was located at the south end of the town guarding the south entrance. The palisade ran east from the fort to the water's edge and northwest to Cornwallis Fort, 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
