Fort Ellsworth was a timber and earthwork fortification constructed west of Alexandria Virginia as part of the defenses of Washington D.C. during the American Civil War. Built in the weeks following the Union defeat at Bull Run Fort Ellsworth was situated on a hill north of Hunting Creek and Cameron Run (which feeds into it).
