Late in the afternoon, the British attack on the American right wing began here. After heavy fighting, the defensive line that Sullivan hastily formed near Birmingham Meeting House was forced to retreat to Dilworthtown, 2 miles southeast. Reinforcements from Chadds Ford delayed the British as Sullivan's men fell back.
