Fort Raleigh

USA / North Carolina / Manteo /

Partial restoration of the original earthwork and palisade fort built by the colonists.

Whatever its merits as a defense, it obviously was not up to the task of protecting the entire colony in the face of hostile relations with the local Native Americans.
