Richmond Defences
Crossing of the Outer Line
At this point the outer line of the Confederate Defences of Richmond crossed the Williamsburg Road. Begun after the Battle of Seven Pines and subsequently much strengthened, the Eastern face of this line was a continuous earthwork from the James to the Chickahominy River.
Marker is on West Williamsburg Road (Route 60) 0.1 miles west of Sandburne Parkway, on the right.
