My neighbor, whose family has lived in the area for generations, claims that it is the remains of an old fort. He had heard that it dated back to the war of 1812. But if it is indeed the vestige of a military campaign, I would guess it dates back to the revolutionary War, since the land is not to far from King's Mountain It has a terrific view of the surrounding area, making it a logical spot for an outpost.

However, when viewed in a North American context, its true importance as a war between Great Britain and the emerging United States of America can be measured. The protection of these battlefields is important to both the people of the United States and Canada.
