These three batteries and redoubt formed a continuation of the Grand French Battery complex across the road. Occupying a section 1,000 feet from east to west, this battery complex contained approximately thirty pieces of artillery which bombarded the main British defense a half-mile away. Its fire was so effective that digging of the Second Parallel could begin one day after the Grand French Battery opened fire.
