Forts on the Fourth Line to the South of the River Tagus.
There is little information available on the forts in the fourth line other than the drawings. The original plan was for 35 redoubts but this was reduced to 21.

Thanks to Antonio Lopes who has provided the attached KMZ file which will open in Google Earth and show the locations of the main forts on the Fourth Line.
