From the January 30, 2013, Wilmington (NC) Star-News "Back Then."
JANUARY 16, 1913-- "Workmen engaged in leveling the old fortifications on the Cape Fear River at Sunset Park found the complete skeleton of a man, supposedly a soldier. The bones were placed in a box and will be kept for awhile..
Confederate fortifications were once near the new Sunset Park neighborhood. Union troops later occupied them and there are reports of fighting there."
These would be fortifications further north along the Cape Fear River, closer to Wilmington than Fort Fisher.
