Full description
Two buildings situated just south of Star Castle (7902.01, 7902.02) are shown on a map of 1834 (b1). The rectangular structures are parallel, with long axes roughly north-south; both have a dividing cross-wall, the south end of the structure being apparently unroofed. The Adams (b2) refer to "the Lieutenant Governor's farm (complete with haystack and two low thatched outhouses)" existing in the 1820s. This may be the site referred to, but no source is given (b3). The Governor's farm extended south and east from Star Castle across the back of the Garrison, but the location of any associated buildings is uncertain (7900.11).
