Sites

Overgrown ruins most likely of 19th century origin, but they are potentially older. Some building blocks are of cemented beach and what appears to be aeolianite material. Blocks of Enon conglomerate and calcrete were also used in the structure as well as relatively crudely made bricks of orange to red clay. Parts of the plaster and mortar consist of lime with marine shell temper while mortar of clay was also noted. A great deal of shell in the plaster and mortar is burnt and calcined. Some of the existing walls are around 50cm thick. The structure has undergone some recent, illegal damage, almost certainly by earthmoving machinery. Some artefacts seemingly of the 19th and possibly 18th century were noted in the vicinity of the ruins to the south, but no dump or midden was identified. Materials actually included a mixture of modern and older materials.
