The fort is bounded by timber palisades.

The location of the fort's original palisades were identified through archaeological investigation in the years after the fort was designated a national historic site in 1923.

A two-storey bastion built out of logs and topped with a pyramid-shaped roof is built along the northeast palisades walls. The northeast bastion is a small irregularly shaped square windows and two doors are situated on its second level, providing access to the wall's galleries. The northeast bastion was rebuilt in 1957
