It is located near the confluence of the Ouachita and Little Missouri Rivers, close to County Route 25. The roughly square earthworks is believed to have been built in 1864, after Union Army forces captured Little Rock, as an effort by Confederate Army forces to fortify the Ouachita against a potential Union advance. It saw no combat, and was probably only used as an observation and supply post.<ref name=NRHP_summary>{{cite web|url=http://www.arkansaspreservation.com/national-register-listings/tate-39-s-bluff-fortification|title=Tate's Bluff Fortification|publisher=Arkansas Preservation|accessdate=2015-08-25}}</ref>
