An archaeologically sensitive area of the village that incorporates what is now the club house building, the adjacent land as well as land to the west of Church Street, that contained the old PWD yards. Riley (1993) has indicated that the Club House used to be the old Medical Superintendents house, and Deacon (1996) indicates that the structure started as the home of the Commandant. The old PWD yard north of the church and parsonage has been completely demolished, however this may have been where the first prisoners of the British period was housed as well as the first leprosy infirmary.
