Caption: Original Covered Way Marker
Additional Description: When Greene first saw the British fortifications at Ninety Six, he observed that "all the works communicated with each other by covered way."

A covered way was a trench 4-5 feet deep and 2-3 feet wide which allowed troops to move from one defensive position to another. Other covered ways connected the Star Fort, the town of Ninety Six, the jail and the Stockade Fort.
