    CORIYULE ESTATE - SHED & WELL - History

    The site is part of Lot 3, Parish of Bellarine and lies within the former "Coriyule Estate", established by "The Lady Squatters" Caroline Newcombe and Ann Drysdale in 1843. The 1922 subdivisional sale notice for "Coriyule Estate" shows the orchard being cut by McDermott Road. The eastern half of the orchard lies within the current survey area. The 1978 1:25,000 topo. map (Drysdale 7821) clearly shows the tree line border of the orchard and a building at the south-east corner. The 1990 aerial photograph shows the tree lined boundary of the orchard paddock and a building at the south-east corner.

    Interpretation of Site

    CORIYULE ESTATE - SHED & WELL - Interpretation of Site

    The "Conriyule Estate" shed & well is only a small part of the property story. The site is located at the very eastern edge of the original property and probably could not reveal much information about the property except for its construction and use.

    CORIYULE ESTATE - SHED & WELL - Heritage Inventory Description

    Near the intersection of Coriyule Road and McDermott Road on Coriyule Road lies the delapidated remains of a timber and corrugated iron shed with obvious cement rendered domed brick well to the south of the shed. The shed consists of timber and pressed metal/iron sheets (the latter along the southern wall at least). The shed is closed on the western side and open on the eastern side. At present the shed garages farm equipment. There are several yards located on the eastern side of the shed, possibly for movement of sheep or cattle. The cement rendered domed brick well is located within metres of the southern wall of the shed. The shed is within 30 metres of Coriyule Road, against the southern fenceline of the former orchard.

    Shed and well.
