Near here ran the line of inner defences located by Gen. D. H. Hill, June, 1864. He had been sent from Petersburg by Gen. Beauregard to assist Gen. Breckinridge then in command. On Gen. Early's arrival, troops were moved to the outer works. Error: Note that the name and the first sentence of the marker are incorrect, and should read: Near here ran the line of inner defenses located by Gen. D. H. Hill, June, 1864.
