What is a "rampart"?

A rampart is a defensive wall or raised area that surrounds a fortress, castle, or town, often built to protect against attacks. It is usually made of earth, stone, or brick and is raised to provide a height advantage for defense. Ramparts are often thick and wide enough to allow soldiers to move along the top for protection while they observe the surrounding area or engage in battle. They may include features such as battlements or parapets for additional safety and cover. Overall, ramparts play a crucial role in the defense of fortified structures.
