Description

Hefford Plantation is the site of a 17th century plantation located in the community of New Perlican, NL. Archaeological excavations at the site began in 2001. Specifically, it is a hill formed by a bedrock outcrop located about 20m east of the beach where it slopes down to the south and east, and then it levels out into grass covered gardens. This site is located just across the bridge on the eastern side of New Perlican Harbour, between Pinsent’s Lane, Route 80 and Peddle’s Lane.
