DC's Civil War Earthworks (English)
In military terms, earthworks refer to fortifications constructed from dirt... Each of the forts built to protect the nation’s capital was unique, while following a standard procedure for construction. By the time a fort was completed it was composed of walls that were made of dirt shoveled into berms. (English)
