In 1780 - 81, the British built a series of small forts or redoubts to serve as an outer line of defense for their headquarters at Camden. They were well fortified with troops and artillery, making Camden relatively impenetrable to attack by the Colonial forces. The two western redoubts on Campbell St. protected Camden's important western flank from the Wateree river. The large redoubt on this site spanned the intersection of Campbell and Bull Streets. It was destroyed by the British when they evacuated in 1781.
