Additional Details:
There was a fort constructed on this site as early as 1742 and it was occupied in the War of 1812 1815. In the War of the Rebellion it was mounted with four guns which commanded the approaches to the outer harbor. It is still the property of the U. S. Government. The earthworks add much to the picturesque appearance of Salem Neck
