Nor: På dette stedet var det harde kamper i januar 1660. Fredriksten festning var ikke påbegynt da. Forsvarsverkene rundt Halden var omfattende, men enkle. De besto hovedsakelig av løse steinmurer og palisader (tett gjerde av solide tømmerstokker).
14. januar angrep svenske styrker Brådland skanse med voldsom kraft. 5 stormangrep ble avvist, men ved det 6. brøt fienden gjennom og erobret høyden. Den ble senere samme dag gjenerobret av tropper ledet av Mathias Bjørn og Peder Olsson Normand. Angriperne ga opp felttoget etter 6 ukers beleiring uten fremgang, og returnerte til Sverige.
De oppreiste steinene langs Normandstien markerer der forsvarslinjen gikk i 1660.
En liten boks inneholdende logg, blyant og noen andre greier.
Eng: At this sight, there were fierce battles in January 1660. The building of the main Fredriksten Fortress was not started then. The defense works around Halden was comprehensive, but simple. They consisted mainly of loose stone walls and palisades (dense fence of solid timber).
14th of January Swedish forces attacked Brådland bulwark with violent force. 5 onslaughts were rejected, but by the 6th the enemy broke through and captured the hill. It was recaptured later the same day by troops led by Mathias Bjørn and Peder Olsson Normand. The attackers abandoned the campaign after 6 weeks of siege, without success, and returned to Sweden.
The upright stones along Normandstien marks where the line of defense was in 1660.
A small box containing log, pencil and some other stuff.
