Built on lands of Issac Van Meter who took up claim near Old Fields, 1735, and settled there, 1744, in chain of forts which Washington established. For a time it was garrisoned by British regulars. Near it was Battle of the Trough, 1756.

Marker is at the intersection of West Virginia Route 220 and Old Fields Road (County Route 2), on the right when traveling north on State Route 220.
