    Interpretation of Site

    MCARTHURS LANE HOUSE RUINS - Interpretation of Site

    Heritage Inventory Interpretation: The historical scatter and bricks indicate that this could be the site of a former dwelling. The nature of the artefacts indicate a date of a least late nineteenth century. No archaeological evidence of sub surface foundations are evident, however, dense pasture grasses obscured the ground surface over much of the site.
