From Wikipedia.
Fort Clifton Archaeological Site is a historical Civil War fort located at Fort Clifton Park in Colonial Heights, Virginia.
The park itself is the site of Confederate Fort Clifton on the Appomattox River, where five Union ships attacked on June 11, 1864.
The Confederate Battery, with cannon emplacements, remained in Confederate hands as the fort's cannons drove the Union ships away.
The park has earthworks that criss-cross the property. Fort Clifton Park has hiking trails and Civil War campaign signs.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.
