You're standing at the Zwartendijksterschans, on the road between Een and Een-West. Look around you: the moat, the earthen walls and the points sticking outwards. This is a star fort, with four bastions and a moat that's usually dry. It's one of the few forts from the Eighty Years' War that still survive.
