Statement of Significance

This derelict mudbrick house and nearby ruinous stone chimney, probably erected in the mid to late 19th century, is of architectural, historical and scientific significance to the Winjallock district. The use of mudbrick in its construction is notable. It indicates the early settlement of land in the area for agricultural purposes. It is of importance for its potential to provide information that contributes to a greater understanding of the history of the settlement and establishment of the district, and has a strong presumption of archaeological research potential. Further historical research and archaeological investigation is recommended.
