The site is located near the Gwynn's Island bridge, which carries Cricket Hill Road (Virginia Route 223) to the island from the mainland near the village of Cricket Hill. From fortifications on this site (now marked by a plaque and observation deck), rebel Patriot forces fired on British forces controlled by the royal governor, Lord Dunmore, that had occupied Gwynn's Island.[2]
