Freeman Farm was a log and earthen work about 500 yards long and 12 to 14 feet high. Named for Lord Balcarres, who commanded the British light infantry, it formed the strongest part of the British defensive positions. These positions were constructed in sections between the Hudson River (to the east) and the Breymann Redoubt (to the north and west) by Burgoyne's troops after the battle of September 19.
On October 7 the British flanking column withdrew here after being driven from the Barber Farm. The redoubt is outlined by white marker posts with red tops.
