This large redoubt was the center of a defensive line crossing the Peninsula. Constructed by the command of General John B. Magruder, these earthworks were part of a system of fortifications designed to protect Richmond. Here on May 5, 1862, the Battle of Williamsburg delayed the advance of the Federal Army and made possible the continued defense of Richmond.
