Description
The fortifications at Stony Creek Battery were a portion of the Confederate southern coastal defenses constructed under the direction of General Robert E. Lee in late 1861 and early 1862. It is believed that the fortifications were not continuously manned; instead, a picket of one or more men would be periodically posted at Stony Creek to warn of a Union advance into the area.
