Confederate Countermine

Suspecting a Union mine, the Confederates dug two listening galleries here. They narrowly missed striking the Union tunnel, which was deeper. The depressions you see were caused by the cave-in of these galleries.

Marker can be reached from Siege Road 0.4 miles east of South Crater Road (U.S. 460).
