The 6 cannon battery was destroyed by the British in 1702.〔(''A History of Newfoundland from the English, Colonial and Foreign Records'' ), D. W. Prowse, at Google Books〕 The old cannon battery was replaced in the 19th century to defend the islands during the Crimean War.〔(Landmarks & Monuments ) at Saint Pierre et Miquelon website〕 The Pointe aux Canons Lighthouse is located near the old fort site. Four cannons now sit in a park near the site of the old fort, but traces of fort have disappeared with the development of the town. ==References==
