 As a result, more work was deemed necessary at the Heights, and the Drop Redoubt had its defences improved.Caponiers were added to four of the corners of the existing fort (each with a stone staircase leading up to the top of the Redoubt), and gunrooms were built alongside two of them to allow fire along the North and South-East Lines.The original magazine was enlarged, and covered with a large earth bank as protection from mortar-fire.
