GHERINGHAP CISTERN AND STRUCTURAL REMAINS - History
A history of these features is unknown; property possibly first occupied c.1860, however Rowe (2010) identified house structure on the site as being constructed c.1902, features are most likely to date from this time.
GHERINGHAP CISTERN AND STRUCTURAL REMAINS - Interpretation of Site
All features appear to be ancillary features associated with the main house structure located on the property.
GHERINGHAP CISTERN AND STRUCTURAL REMAINS - Archaeological Significance
Difficult to assess as the site is overgrown with dense vegetation, however the assessed value of any potential deposits of archaeological material is low to moderate due to the likelihood that they are associated with the early 20th century and likely to have been highly disturbed through landscaping works. There is some potential for the cistern to contain undisturbed deposits of archaeological material, however it appears structurally complete and may not have been filled in at the end of it's useful life.
GHERINGHAP CISTERN AND STRUCTURAL REMAINS - Historical Significance
The site retains a low level of historical significance as a fairly common site type associated with the late 19th/early 20th century rural development of the Geelong region
