Reports the results of archaeological testing November 11-21, 2014. The James River Institute for Archaeology excavated 5 test units around the foundation of the ca. 1725 Lynnhaven House. The testing was part of a larger initiative to waterproof and reinforce the foundation, but every test unit showed modern disturbance, chiefly attributable to an earlier project. As a result, all features, including builder's trench, within 3' of the Lynnhaven House, have been completely obliterated. Although historical artifacts were recovered, a single posthole was the only historic feature found. (Adapted from Abstract, p. iii).
