Statement of Significance

The cottage ruins have local significance as an example of the small and simple construction associated with most agricultural properties throughout the district.

Physical Description

The stone ruins of the small cottage are located on the north side of Coronation Beach Road, approximately 50 metres from the edge of the road. The western end of the ruins remains the most intact and reveals that the cottage had a gable roof at one time. There is evidence of remnant render to the stone walls. Although the original 1993 Municipal Inventory notes that there are remnants of stone outbuildings and a stone well adjacent to the cottage, these were not identified during the 2012 review.

History

This land was originally part of the Oakabella pastoral lease.
