Fort Southerland, also known as Redoubt E and possibly Fort Diamond, is an earthen redoubt built in 1864 to protect Camden, Arkansas. Confederate forces built it along with four other redoubts in early 1864 during the American Civil War after a Union victory in the Little Rock campaign the previous year. Fort Southerland is about the size of a city block and is roughly oval- or bowl-shaped. It emplaced three cannons.
