The Stoney Baynard historic site on the national register of the historic places by the united states, department of interior, located within present day Sea Pines Plantation, has also been known as Baynard Ruins and as Braddock’s Point Plantation.
The site consists of below ground archaeological remains covering an area just under six acres and a series of four ruins. A main house, an overseer’s house, and a slave house are associated with the Stoney-Baynard Plantation, dating from the first decade of the nineteenth century. A fourth structure was associated with the site’s occupation by Union pickets after the Battle of Port Royal during the Civil War.
The archaeological remains are well preserved, with archaeological testing documenting intact sub-surface features and clear horizontal patterning of artifacts. Standing architectural ruins include 2-story portions of the main house, a chimney footing for the overseer’s house, and footings for a tent for the Union Troops. The structures were built in the Georgian Architectural style with tabby foundations and exterior walls.
Open: 6 AM – 8 PM
