      {Rampart gun} (Fort.), a cannon or large gun for use on a

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Rampart \Ram"part\, n. [F. rempart, OF. rempar, fr. remparer to
      fortify, se remparer to fence or intrench one's self; re- re-
      pref. + pref. en- (L. in) + parer to defend, parry, prepare,
      L. parare to prepape. See {Pare}.]
      1. That which fortifies and defends from assault; that which
            secures safety; a defense or bulwark.
  
      2. (Fort.) A broad embankment of earth round a place, upon
            which the parapet is raised. It forms the substratum of
            every permanent fortification. --Mahan.
  
      Syn: Bulwark; fence; security; guard.
  
      Usage: {Rampart}, {Bulwark}. These words were formerly
                  interchanged; but in modern usage a distinction has
                  sprung up between them. The rampart of a fortified
                  place is the enceinte or main embankment or wall which
                  surrounds it. The term bulwark is now applied to
                  peculiarly strong outworks which project for the
                  defense of the rampart, or main work. A single bastion
                  is a bulwark. In using these words figuratively,
                  rampart is properly applied to that which protects by
                  walling out; bulwark to that which stands in the
                  forefront of danger, to meet and repel it. Hence, we
                  speak of a distinguished individual as the bulwark,
                  not the rampart, of the state. This distinction,
                  however, is often disregarded.
