An extensive fortress protected Charleston during the Revolutionary War. Destroyed long ago, it left remnants of its formidable tabby walls, cement made with oyster shells, just below the surface of these grounds. A fragment is preserved above ground on Marion Square as a reminder of the structure that once stood here and of Charleston's Horn Work and its role in the struggle for independence.
