The Sunken Courtyard is the name given to a set of casemated gun rooms in the unrestored upper area of Fort Amherst. They are sunken in a lower part of the ditch and have gun ports protecting one section of the ditch and Musketry loops covering them in a short gallery at a right angle to the Eastern most gun room.
This part of the fort is not normally open to the public, this was a special tour.

is that the fort with water round in mate?
No mate, I think it's called 'The Sunken Courtyard' because it's sunk down in a ditch.
