Summary
From 5-9 June 2006, Brockington and Associates, Inc., conducted a cultural resources survey
of the 8.75-acre Beach City Place Tract. These investigations were performed for D & N
Partnership of Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. The survey was designed to identify any historic
properties (sites, buildings, structures, objects, districts, or landscapes listed on or eligible for the
National Register of Historic Places [NRHP]) that may be present on or near the tract that could be
affected by its proposed development. This survey was conducted in compliance with federal laws
