This centrally located area was the open space between the main structures of the fort. It was also sometimes called the esplanade. The parade ground was the location where the soldiers of the garrison were formally assembled for drill, review, inspection, roll call and witnessing of punishment. The most common corporal punishment for disciplinary infractions was flogging, whereby an offender was lashed with a cat-o'-nine tails (a multi-strand whip) as prescribed by British military regulations and tradition.
