Description: Formerly known as Grenadier’s Battery, Foundry Redoubt was a British reconstruction of the formerly American fort. Grenadier was captured by the British in 1776 and was expanded into Foundry Redoubt in 1780. Located in New York City, the redoubt was utilized by British forces until the Empire was forced to evacuate the city upon the return of the Continental Army in 1783. The fortification was abandoned following the end of the Revolutionary War.
