Many thanks for the information, and the time it took to find it. I do know the spot, right at the corner of Rt123 and Braddock road. Makes perfect sense>

Again Thanks

I believe the crossroads are now in a GMU parking lot. See map here:

Once I get a chance to do that, I’ll let you know if there is any specific info in there.

Living near Fairfax Courthouse, I am curious as to where the defenses were set up.
