archaeology
Cheshire Hall's heritage area contains the remains of a plantation house from the 1790s and associated outbuildings. Its protected extent includes the site walls and surrounding ground. Preserving the ensemble allows the buildings to be studied together as physical evidence of a colonial agricultural estate.
