Site of the first English settlement in
America, at the N end of Roanoke Island,
North Carolina, USA, to which in 1585 Walter
Raleigh sent 108 colonists from Plymouth,
England, under his cousin Richard Grenville.
In 1586 Francis Drake took the dissatisfied
survivors back to England. The outline
fortifications are preserved.
