Tenaille (archaic Tenalia) is an advanced defensive-work, in front of the main defences of a fortress which takes its name from resemblance, real or imaginary, to the lip of a pair of pincers. It is "from French, literally: tongs, from Late Latin ten cula, pl of tenaculum". Tenaille were a development in fortification design formalised by Vauban. To allow the defenders to access the ditches that front a curtain wall a postern was placed low down in the curtain walls close to its centre. To protect the postern Vauban conceived the plan of establishing a work between the flanks and before the curtain, and to which he gave the name of tenaille.
