Guard Hill (VA117)

Description:

Much of the Guard Hill battlefield is now occupied by the Front Royal interchange on Interstate 81 and  has been altered and fragmented.  However, areas south of the interstate -- especially the high ground north of the confluence of the South and North Forks of the Shenandoah River for which the battlefield is named -- retain some historic integrity and could be protected and interpreted.
