This fenced-in outcropping is the last visible remnant of a Revolutionary War structure called the Horn Work. Part of Charleston's colonial fortifications, amazingly the Horn Work was a tabby fort the size of Fort Sumter. Covering over 5 acres, it had 18 cannons, and was surrounded on the north side by a moat 10 yards wide.
