Despite severe disturbance caused by the construction of a British fort in the 19th-century, the area covered by the cloverleaf bastion and perhaps other areas of the fort at Coteau-du-Lac can be shown to have been occupied or used periodically for some 5,000 years. The presence of certain diagnostic artifacts permits the identification of at least four prehistoric occupations of the site: the Brewerton and probably the Vergonnes phases of the Laurentian tradation; another later Archaic manifestation represented by Lamoka points; a Middle Woodland occupation represented by Point Peninsula pottery and human remains; and a Late Woodland presence, poorly but surely in evidence due to five Iroquoian potsherds.

The primary goal of the 1966 National Historic Parks and Sites Branch excavations at Ile-aux-Noix was the search for features of the French period. Evidence of French features was not found. This report describes excavations of the porter's cottage and of the civilian barracks/straw shed, two British structures revealed during the search for French remains. Tests in various mounds and other locations on the northern half of the island are also included, as is a brief description of salvage recording of a construction project in the rampart of Fort Lennox.
