Northern Defense Lines

After the English burned St. Augustine in 1702, the Spanish built earthworks beyond the fort for defense against attack. Water and marsh protected the other sides.

English raiders were stopped in 1728 at the Hornwork, a half mile north of here.

Marker is on South Castillo Drive (State Highway A1A), on the right when traveling north.
