One mysterious aspect of the site is the burial ground, just behind the visitors center. Although archaeologists are unsure if anyone was buried there, several empty tombs may never have been used before the fort was abandoned.
Bloody Marsh, about six miles from the fort, is a satellite park at the site of a skirmish July 7, 1742, between British and Spanish troops during the short-lived War of Jenkin’s Ear. Although the British ambush killed only seven men, the legend is that the marsh ran red with blood. The battle secured Georgia for British rule.

The tower that was once the entrance to the soldier’s barracks is two stories tall and is the most pristine tabby structure at the park. The ruins of the barracks’ tabby foundation surround the structure, giving visitors a good idea of the size of the building like when it housed soldiers during the mid-1700s.
