Fort Nonsense is the last remaining fortification of several built in the 18th and 19th centuries to defend Annapolis and its waterways. A redoubt, or small independent earthen site designed for flexible military use, it was built in the early 19th century, though its origin and unusual name remain a mystery. It may have served as a lookout point for Fort Madison, a masonry structure along the banks of the Severn River. No record exists of combat at Fort Nonsense or at any of the Annapolis forts.
