This is Redoubt No. 1, which was on the left end of the confederate attack line on Dec. 15, 1864. A "redoubt" is a small fortification. There were several other small forts like this nearby, but this one was the one closest to the federal lines. General Hood made a failed attempt to retake Nashville in December of 1864, and this where his attack started, and was the last fort of the first day of battle to fall. There's lots of great info on the signs here - take the time to read them.
