HILL FARM 3 - History
The site was originally part of the large 'Mayne' pastoral run in 1840's. Mayne was subdivided in the 1850's and allotment 36 was purchased by E. Mitchell and J. Close in 1852. They then leased part of the property to J. Jennings who, in 1875 purchased 26 acres for cultivation. Jennings, a bricklayer, may have built the nearby historic cottage and well around 1885 when it first appears in rate books. The two wells are very similar in construction and are of fine craftmanship.HILL FARM 3 - Interpretation of Site
This site could be a dump site or a demolished farm outbuilding.
HILL FARM 3 - Archaeological Significance
Low to med archaeological significance. Subsurface deposits may provide information on life on this site in the 19th and 20th C. The continual use of the land for pastoral activities increases the significance, as does the knowledge of subsurface deposits.
HILL FARM 3 - Historical Significance
Local historical significance as one of the early pastoral runs in the area and the association with historic local persons.
