Queen Hith Plantation Complex Site is a historic archaeological site located at Newport News, Virginia. It is the site of an archeological study that uncovered artifacts ranging from pre-Columbian Woodland Indian objects to items from the initial colonization of Warwick County, Virginia. The foundations of Queen's Hith Plantation, the 1643 house of the Thomas Harwood family, remain. American Civil War redoubts, once part of the 1862 Peninsula Campaign defenses, have also been preserved. Two Civil War redoubts, known as the Skiffes Creek Line which formed the right flank of the Warwick River Line during the 1862 Peninsula Campaign have also been preserved. This land is also the site of the 19th and 20th Century Oakland Farm.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
