In 1780 - 81, the British built a series of small forts, or redoubts, as an outer line of defense for their headquarters at Camden. Well fortified with troops and artillery, these defenses made Camden relatively impenetrable to attack by Colonial forces. The two western redoubts on Campbell St. protected Camden’s important western flank from the Wateree River. This large redoubt spanned the intersection of Meeting and Campbell Streets, and the British destroyed it when they evacuated in 1781.
