Founded in 1765 as a base to secure passage round Cape Horn and abandoned by the British nine years later, Port Egmont was occupied briefly by the Spanish in 1770-71. Apart from sporadic visits by sealers and whalers in the 19th century the site remained deserted. The survey located nearly 50 separate features, which include defensive works such as batteries, a harbour complex, houses, barracks, and storehouses, gardens and a cemetery. A detailed study of contemporary maps and documents confirmed the function of many of these and illuminated the historical and economic context of the shortlived settlement.

Roman Catholic vault burial in Britain has not previously been archaeologically investigated, and the use of rock-cut burial pits, visible in the churchyard, appeared to be a response to the massive demand for urban burial during the nineteenth century. The project has combined local knowledge with surface survey and recording memorials in the churchyard, mapping the crypt and recording the interior of the four vaults at the western end of the crypt after they had been temporarily opened by the community volunteers. This enabled standard and photogrammetric recording, and PXRF analysis of the in-situ coffin fittings. No human remains were revealed. Interviews with voluntee...

By combining the new survey data with surviving contemporary images, subsequent aerial photographs and an account by the camp designer, Major T. E. Naish, it is possible to understand the decision-making processes in constructing and maintaining the camp, and the constrained world in which the occupants spent several years of the war. This, one of the best-preserved World War I prisoner of war camps in the British Isles, can still be appreciated by walking over the dunes today, and deserves the highest level of protection for the future.

They are the surviving remains of a cattle ranching business begun in 1847 by two Liverpool merchant brothers, Samuel and Alexander Lafone. Hides, beef and other cattle products were processed at their company sites in East Falkland and exported to Britain and elsewhere, before being taken over by the newly founded Falkland Islands Company in 1851.
Between 1999 and 2003, for the first time, archaeologists studied and mapped the remains of the early Falkland Islands Company settlements. Combining the archaeological survey with examination of the contemporary documents and maps preserved in archives in the Falklands and the United Kingdom, the project has shed new light on the character of these settlements which formed the basis of the agricultural economy of the Islands.
