The intermediate line of Richmond defences ran here. Built in 1862-64, these defences included 25 inner forts and batteries, beyond which this continuous earthwork encircled the city. The third or outer line stood 4 to 7 miles from the capitol. Along this road, the two divisions of D.H. Hill and James Longstreet followed Gen. R.E. Lee on June 26, 1862, for the opening battle of the Seven Days' Campaign.
