Archeological Site Inventory Form

Return to Sites Table of Contents

Unless indicated below, this is a transcript of the original Society for the Preservation of Long Island Antiquities/Town of Brookhaven survey form. Corrections to obvious typographical and spelling errors have been made. Corrections to factual errors, updates or comments on the information are either enclosed in [square brackets], or will be clearly indicated as updated material. Since most of the surveys were conducted in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s, much of the information reflects that time period. Included in this category are sites for which some documentation may exist but are no longer extant often with little or no modern evidence at the site.

Sites which have a suffix of “S” are supplemental sites not included in the original surveys.

Historic and Architectural Importance

John Ireland was one of the largest and wealthiest landowners in Fire Place Hamlet in the 18th century.

About Feb 1902, John Busteed Ireland sold the farm to John J. Gorman. At that time, the farm contained 222 acres. At about the same time, Selah Hawkins and wife sold a lot on Motts Lane to John Gorman, size not indicated. .[Suffolk County News (Sayville), 28 Feb 1902, p. 4.]
