HOGANS ROAD HISTORIC SITE - History
No specific site history could be sourced for the site location. The property it is situated on is likely to have formed part of the larger Bael Bael pastoral run taken up in 1846 by merchants merchants G.C Curlewis and Robert Tertius Campbell Jnr. Later Subdivision of the run was likely carried out in the 1860s, which may include the Hogans Road Historic Place. The place has been used predominately used for agricultural purposes (cropping and grazing) since the 1840s to the presentHOGANS ROAD HISTORIC SITE - Interpretation of Site
The features of the site included artefacts such as bottles, ceramics and metal common to the late 19th century/early 20th century. It is uncertain if any underlying larger structure exists within the site extent. However, a small hut and brickwork is located in the north of site, as well as the presence of fragments of everyday items indicate the remnants of a small late 19th century/ early 20th century occupation site. The presence of a boiler remnant, drums, bricks and a wagon wheel and fencing may indicate the site of an outbuilding or workshop and lends further credence to the occupation of the area. The presence of the small hut and artefacts may indicate a small shepherds or stockriders quarters on the larger Bael Bael estate that this place is likely a remnant of. Many of the artefacts within the site extent has been dispersed by ploughing and cropping The site does not contain any artefacts or remnants of later occupation (early 20th century onwards) that suggests ongoing occupation of the site after this period. There is potential within the less disturbed area of the site extent, such as within the fenced-off area, for intact archaeological deposits. Clearance of vegetation and a subsurface investigation would be required to delineate the actual size and extent of the archaeological resource.
Heritage Inventory Description
HOGANS ROAD HISTORIC SITE - Heritage Inventory Description
HRHP extent is located within agricultural land approximately 400 m west of Hogans Road in Cannie, Victoria. The site extent comprises of scatter of historic artefacts dating to end of the 19th Century and early 20th Century. These artefacts comprised of ceramic shards (>50), glass fragments (>50), several brick fragments (<20), several whole bottles (<10) and at least two small pots. Some metal agricultural fragments (perhaps horse bridles fragments or plough fragments) were identified and larger metal remnants of a boiler, four metal drums and one wagon wheel were also identified. The dimensions of the place (spprox. 7079m2), based on the dispersion of small artefacts, appears quite extensive, with artefacts clearly dispersed widely by frequent ploughing. Limited ceramic and bottle diagnostics (less than 10% of overall scatter visible) were encountered, however, the complete bottles and vessels have makers’ marks that date to late 19th century/ early 20th century. Diagnostics of ceramics are willow pattern or similar. Willow pattern ceramics were popular during the 18th century and into the 19th and early 20th century. Ceramic and glass fragment appear to be of plates, cups, glasses, bottles, and other common domestic items. The clear bottles are medicinal bottles used for the treatment of constipation and an antiseptic eucalyptus oil. the brown bottle is likely to be a beer or wine bottle while the white ceramic pot may be food paste/spread vessel .
