Been reading about Camp Davis Army Air Field which is now Marine Corps Outlying Field Camp Davis. The Wiki article states that "Between 1942–43, two 5,000 feet (1,500 m) paved runways were built for Camp Davis Army Air Field (AAF). Part of the runway for the airfield was built through one of the old Civil War fort's walls."

For the life of me I can't figure out which 'civil war fort' they are referring to. I think the closest one is Fisher...any ideas?
Thanks,
