A named ruin in the open map’s record of Christchurch, lying in Addington.
The map’s own tags are all this page claims, a named place where something stood or lies buried. The heritage register nearby (linked where the record keeps one) and the library’s photograph collections carry the fuller story.
The map doesn’t say, an archaeological site may be private land, delicate ground or both. Treat the pin as where the record puts it, not an invitation.
The record behind this
The position and the tags are OpenStreetMap’s, a named node or way tagged historic=ruins or historic=archaeological_site inside the city boundary (ODbL). A name is the mapper’s, a lead, not a register listing. An old site may be private land or delicate ground; the pin is not an invitation.
