It was here, once the Loyalists were in range, that the Patriots opened fire. Patriot cannons and muskets killed at least 30 men, among them was Lieutenant Colonel Donald McLeod. Another 20 or so men were left wounded here on the battlefield. Although some accounts say the battle only lasted 3 minutes, most other accounts suggest the battle lasted around 30 minutes.
