Lynchburg Defenses
The earthwork on the hilltop, two hundred yards to the east, was thrown up as a part of the system of defenses for Lynchburg, 1861-65. The city was an important supply base and railroad center.
Marker is at the intersection of Campbell Avenue (U.S. 501) and Richmond Highway (U.S. 460), on the right when traveling north on Campbell Avenue.
