Archeological Site Inventory Form
Unless indicated below, this is a transcript of
the original Society for the
Preservation of Long Island Antiquities/Town of Brookhaven survey
form. Corrections to obvious typographical and spelling errors
have been made. Corrections to factual errors, updates or comments
on the information are either enclosed in [square brackets], or will be
clearly indicated as updated material. Since most of the surveys
were conducted in the late 1970's and early 1980's, much of the
information reflects that time period. Included in this category
are sites for which some documentation may exist but are no longer
extant often with little or no modern evidence at the site.
Sites which have a suffix of "S" are supplemental
sites not included in the original surveys.

John Ireland was one of the largest and wealthiest landowners in Fire Place Hamlet in the 18th century. About Feb 1902, John Busteed Ireland sold the farm to John J. Gorman. At that time, the farm contained 222 acres. At about the same time, Selah Hawkins and wife sold a lot on Motts Lane to John Gorman, size not indicated. .[Suffolk County News (Sayville), 28 Feb 1902, p. 4.]
