In studying some of the siege maps, I notice there were two confederate positions quite a bit south of South Fort on Warrenton Road well outside of the siege line. The maps that show the positions are maps showing positions during the siege I believe. Were these positions actually occupied by confederate troops during the siege, or did the troops fall back into town? I have never seen these positions mentioned in any writings, so I wonder who or what they were exactly. I appreciate any information any of you may be able to provide. Thanks in advance.
