Lee's Mill Earthworks, Civil War archaeological site in Newport News, Virginia.

The fortifications at Lee's Mill include rifle pits and a 19th-century redoubt spanning across 10 acres of preserved historical terrain.

The earthworks played a decisive role in April 1862 when Confederate forces successfully prevented Union troops from advancing toward Richmond.

The site stands as physical evidence of military engineering techniques and defensive strategies employed during the American Civil War period.

Visitors can observe the earthwork formations from public access points while following designated interpretive trails through the grounds.

These fortifications represent the most intact section of the 12-mile Warwick-Yorktown defensive line that altered the course of Civil War operations.
