Junction of Earthworks
Maj. Gen. Hiram G. Berry's division formed the front of the Union defense north of the Orange Turnpike on the morning of May 3. Although virtually all of Berry's entrenchments have disappeared, this small segment of works on the right marks the location of Berry's line. Confederates constructed the intersecting trenches later on May 3 to face the final Federal position.
Marker can be reached from Plank Road / Germania Highway (State Highway 3), on the right when traveling west.
