 CWFF Website: Dictionary of Fortification: Guerite   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
In permanent fortifications a guerite was an enclosed and loop-holed sentry-box projecting from the masonry revetment of scarp walls at flanked angles of bastions.
The floor of a guerite projecting from the scarp was also loop-holed to serve as a machicouli for defense of the flanked angle.
Since guerites generally rose above the level of the masonry scarp they tended to mark bastion salients and make it easier for a besieging army to identify the exact direction of bastion faces and select positions for ricochet batteries.

 H B 6 - DAUPHIN BASTION:  PRELIMINARY REPORT (1720 - 1745)  BY MARGARET FORTIER - CHAPTER 6: SALIENT ANGLE ...
There is no firing step indicated along the right face, but it would seem that the terreplein of the circular battery extends behind the corps de garde to the right face.
The existence of a guerite at the Bastion's salient angle is substantially borne out by the plans.
The shape of the guerite can be argued since there are two possibilities shown on the plans, but it appears safe to assume - even without recourse to what is known of other Bastions - that the structure was pentagonal [55] and not round.
