Along Route 50 and barely a place to park. To be honest you can see it pretty well at 45 MPH but this page should be enough for you, unless you want to cause a possible accident.

Historic Site Defenses of Washington 1861-1865
During the Civil War, the Union built a series of forts to defend Washington, D.C. By 1865 there were 33 earthen fortifications in the Arlington Line. Fort Cass (1861) was part of this defensive strategy. Built on top of the rise east of this marker, this lunette fort was named for Colonel Thomas Cass, whose regiment constructed the fort.
