In Beaufort County, N.C., on Pamlico River by the town of Washington.  When the Confederates attempted to recapture Washingtion in April 1863, they built a battery at Rodman's Point.  Nothing remains of it.

From April 1 to April 16, 1863, there were three engagements listed as occurring here.

The 50th NC (Confederate) was one of the regiments which fought there.
