The above waypoints locate a collection of stone walls, suggested in this survey to represent the remains of vegetable gardens of the DEIC period. These consist of a complex of tumbled down stone alignments, most of which are heavily
overgrown and partially buried. The structures, which are visible on the 1985 aerial photograph of the 26 island , take the form of a number of square enclosures, possibly representing the remains of small walled gardens established by officials of the DEIC. Each rectangular feature or field is about 30x50m - the stone walls designed to possibly keep penguins and sheep (owned by the DEIC) away from the crop. No less than 10 walled enclosures were identified, along with a many stone alignments that represent the remains of others that have been damaged or covered. Where wall alignments have been protected by thick bush, preservation is better. The alignments extend in a north westerly direction towards the perimeter road. An alignment is visible in the perimeter road while another is visible between the perimeter road
and the shore.
