It's actually a mountain called Harischandragad. It was used as a natural fortress by an Indian king Shivaji while fighting the British.

Note from Peggy:

"The Patriots took up the decking of the bridge and left the poles across the stream but greased them so the Loyalists could not cross the creek."
