If you stand at the base of ECH (or the top for that matter), looking across the road to the field across which Hays chatged, and let's say that's 12:00. If you look to the right - to about 2:00, you'll see a rise there, with a rather flat top. That's Stephen's Knoll. There was Union artillery on the knoll that day, firing cannister into the left flank of Hay's men. It was hell on earth in that area that day, no doubt. What's great about being on that knoll is that you're looking at the field from the side rather than straight on. You can really see the deep dips and rises Hay's men had to contend with. You don't really see that looking at it straight on.
EDIT: Apologies Doc, I'm spelling it wrong - it's Steven's Knoll. Check THIS LINK.
