Confederate Tunnels beneath supporting works to Fort Mahone at Pine Gardens. The purpose of the tunnels was to detect any mining that might be attempted by the Union and they were used as storage for ammunition and refuge during heavy cannonading.
The discovery of the Confederate Tunnels came as a result of a boy chasing a rabbit into this hole. The tunnels were finally discovered after 60 years.
