Book excerpt: A Phase I cultural resources survey was conducted in Plot 1-B, Estate Prospect Hill. This Plot comprises 1.753 acres within what before was 1803 was more often known as Butler's Bay Estate. It includes the ruins of a sugar factory occupied perhaps between 1780-1886, and ancillary ruins. Earlier remain, while likely to have been present, were probably destroyed by the historical activities connected with the sugar factory. Modern activities such as bulldozing/landscaping and looting by collectors have spoiled much of the archaeological value of the ruins within the study area. The renovation proposed by the developers is in general recommended as a sympathetic way to deal with this historical property. More archaeological work is not deemed to be cost-effective.
