Archaeological Survey of the Cambridge Pointe Tract

"Brockington and Associates, Inc., conducted an intensive archaeological survey of the 0.8 hectare Cambridge Pointe Tract in Walterboro, South Carolina in December 2002. The work was conducted at the request of Companion Associates, Inc., in compliance with federal regulations concerning the management of cultural resources on private property administered by the US Army Corps of Engineers. ...There are no standing structures within the tract. Archival research concerning past land ownership and use identified the presence of the Neyle House on the project tract. The house was constructed in 1810 and moved from the project tract in 1974. Investigators identified one archaeological site (38CN239) during the archaeological survey of the Cambridge Pointe Tract. We recommend site 38CN239 eligible for the NRHP. However, only an area in the eastern portion of the site contributes to its eligibility. This area of significance should be protected from disturbances associated with the proposed development of the Cambridge Pointe Tract. If avoidance of this area of significance is not possible, an appropriate archaeological data recovery plan should be implemented. If land disturbing activities in the project tract are designed to avoid the area of significance, site 38CN239 will not be affected. Current plans place the 38CN239 area of significance in a preservation area."
