Site 24
Site 24 is represented solely by cut and wrought nails identified
through metal detection. Test pits excavated on both a 40-foot
and 20-foot interval failed to recover any artifacts. Based upon
the presence of wrought nails, the site most likely dates to the
Jefferson period. The lack of domestic artifacts and lack of Jefferson
documents pointing to anybody living in the area, the site most
likely represents an agricultural support building -- possibly
a barn, corn crib or tobacco barn.
