A Convict Barracks
This is an amazingly well preserved example of a convict building, probably dating from the 1820s. It was most likely used as a barracks to house the convicts assigned to clear and work this land. The design is very much along the lines of the crofters huts in Scotland.
[Enlarge to see how those stones have been chiseled.]
