Caption: Battery Ridge Earthworks
Additional Description: Located about 1 ½ miles northwest of this marker (along the aptly named Battery Ridge Lane) are the remains of a well-preserved section of the northern line of these fortifications. About 150 yards long, it has two artillery emplacements, one with four and the other with five embrasures. There is a ditch in front of the artillery emplacements.
