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 attacks by the Colonial forces. The two western redoubts on Campbell St. protected Camden's important western flank from the Wateree river. This large redoubt spanned the intersection of Bull and Campbell Streets. It was destroyed by the British when they evacuated in 1781.
