I'm not sure the fort ever had more than what you see. I believe the ground underneath the fort is permafrost and would have been very challenging to excavate.

Scarp and a counterscarp are the inner and outer sides of a ditch or moat used in fortifications. Attackers must descend the counterscarp and ascend the scarp. In permanent fortifications the scarp and counterscarp may be encased in stone.

The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.
You can also just see the Berm on my lower picture of Ti.
A berm is a level space, shelf, or raised barrier separating two areas. It can serve as a fortification line, a border/separation barrier.
