rifle hole
rifle holes in a blockhouse
A slot in an exterior wall of structures such as blockhouses, forts, and garrison houses, used for defensive purposes. The sides of the slot are splayed so the opening is wider at the inner face of the wall than at the exterior face, permitting a rifleman on the interior to fire over a wide angle.
