Fort Cricket Hill

Mathews County, United States

Fort Cricket Hill is an historic American Revolutionary War site in Mathews County, Virginia. The site is located near the Gwynn's Island bridge, which carries Cricket Hill Road (Virginia Route 223) to the island from the mainland near the village of Cricket Hill. From fortifications on this site (now marked by a plaque and observation deck), rebel Patriot forces fired on British forces controlled by the royal governor, Lord Dunmore, that had occupied Gwynn's Island. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.
