Revolutionary War barracks burned by the British discovered in Colonial Williamsburg
Archaeologists in Colonial Williamsburg have made a significant discovery, uncovering the remains of barracks and various artifacts dating back to the Revolutionary War.
Historical documents and maps from the 18th century provided clues about military housing near the current visitor center location in eastern Virginia.
Excavations last year revealed bricks used in the construction of the barracks between 1776 and 1777. This period coincided with the Revolutionary War, lasting from 1775 to 1783.
The barracks, spanning roughly 3 to 4 acres, could accommodate up to 2,000 soldiers and 100 horses.
Unfortunately, the buildings were destroyed in 1781 by General Charles Cornwallis and his troops as they headed to the Battle of Yorktown, Live Science has reported.
