Fort Branch Site is a historic archaeological site located near Hamilton, Martin County, North Carolina. Fort Branch was built in 1862 and improved in mid- to late 1864. It sits 70 feet above a bend in the Roanoke River, and the Confederate States Army earthen fort provided a safe and clear view of Union gunboats approaching from down river. The fort site has undergone restoration by the Fort Branch Battlefield Commission, Inc.[2][3]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.[1]
