Fort Erie was not large enough to hold the 2,500 men of Gen. Brown's American Army during the siege of 1814.
In order to protect the full garrison and supply point, the American defenders built a strong line of earthen fieldworks along this trace, the remains of which exist today.
Snake Hill anchored thre western end of the line and it was secured with a strong redoubt for 6 guns, but it has been destroyed by the subdivision to the west of the battlefield park.
