Redoubt Four, Military fortification in West Point, New York, US.
The earthwork fortification features a stone wall measuring 8 feet in height and 4 feet in thickness on its western section.
Engineer Thaddeus Kosciuszko designed this defensive structure in 1778 to shield Fort Putnam from potential attacks originating at Rocky Hill.
Archaeological excavations during the American Revolution Bicentennial in 1975 revealed details about the original construction methods and military engineering.
The fortification required a minimum of one hundred soldiers plus artillery personnel to maintain effective defensive operations during active service.
Benedict Arnold documented the wooden structure's specifications in 1780, noting its 10-foot height and walls ranging from four to five feet thick.
