    CALDER HIGHWAY, RAVENSWOOD, ARTEFACT SCATTER - Interpretation of Site

    Heritage Inventory Interpretation: This may have been the site of a hotel or an unlicensed grog shop on the road to the Bendigo goldfields. The number and variety of artefacts support such a theory, although there is no evidence of a structure, which may have been a tent or a timber shack.There is possibly a dump of historic artefacts.
