A Caponier is a type of defensive structure in a fortification. The word originates from the French caponnière, meaning 'chicken coop' (a capon is a castrated male chicken ). * In some types of bastioned fortifications, the caponier served as a means of access to the outworks, protecting troops from direct fire; they were often roofless. Although they could be used for firing along the ditch, the flanks of the bastions were the main defence of the ditch by fire. * In later polygonal forts, caponiers were often roofed, and were not intended as a type of covered way, but as the main way of keeping the ditch clear of the enemy. |
