Statement of Significance
The place has historic value for its associations with early settlers, the Whitfield and Connor families. The site has research value as it has potential to contain subsurface archaeological remains.
Physical Description
A brick, timber and iron cottage in severely run down condition with a rusted roof, damaged guttering and missing timbers. It has a hipped vented gablet roof.
History
This place was part of the original crown grant to Captain Whitfield soon after his arrival in the colony in 1830. The original cottage on the property was constructed soon after he settled in 1839. In 1856 Whitfiled divided the 5000 acres into two sections giving one half to his son, Francis, and the other to George Monro. Francis called his property 'Wicklow Hills' and left it to his son Barnard Maurice Connor in 1898. In 1934 B.M. Connor died and left the place to his nephew Edward Hayes who later returned to 'Wicklow Hills' in 1934 after being wounded during the war.
