HISTORIC PRESERVATION at Fort Motte Site.
The plantation house used as Fort Motte was burned during the 1781 siege and no longer survives. The privately owned rural landscape retains archaeological potential and commemorative markers, but modern agriculture and later development have altered the battlefield and generally limit public access.
