Yeah, you are right, it is an artillery Schanze used for defence or siege.

In English the term is 'sconce', though the two names are obviously connected. It looks very good,

I would also say too much vegetation on the gabions. Yes, they could be in place for a while, but I doubt they would ever get so overgrown.

This is a picture of some gabions that were built for a TV programme - they would later have a small cannon fired at them to see how effective they were.

Very realistic grass, did you use a static grass applicator?

Yes, a mixture of gras tufts and static grass applied with an applicator. After I got the figures done, I gonna focus more on the environment. For now it's only the beginning
