CSA Chevrons - Bates Division, Lewis' Brigade:

Just south of Noses Creek, the Confederates made a line of terraced small lunettes on the slope of the bluff.
Each lunette consists of two wings, and thus is in the shape of a chevron. There are a total of eight lunettes,
each spaced about eight paces apart, with each parapet about five feet lower than the previous one.
