What Wikipedia says

In chess, an outpost is a square protected by a pawn (or rarely, two pawns) on the player's fourth, fifth, sixth, or seventh rank and which cannot be attacked by an opponent's pawn. Such a square is a hole for the opponent (Hooper & Whyld 1992). In the figure to the right, c4 is an outpost, occupied by White's knight.
