"A" Fort and Battery Hill Redoubt-Camp Early
"A" Fort and Battery Hill Redoubt-Camp Early, Civil War fort in Fairfax County, United States
The fortified complex stretches across 25 acres of land, featuring preserved Confederate redoubts and defensive trenches from the American Civil War period.
Confederate troops under General Joseph E. Johnston constructed this fortification during winter 1861-1862 as part of their defense line from Centreville to Dumfries.
The site represents a crucial example of Civil War military engineering and demonstrates the strategic planning methods used during this significant conflict.
The fort remains are accessible for observation from public areas, though visitors should note that portions of the property may include private land.
This fortification earned the alternative name 'Measles Fort' and played a role in delaying Union advances, influencing General McClellan's decision to launch the Peninsula Campaign.
