Hope Estate Archaeological Site
Overlooking the Grand Case plain 80 metres above sea level, is a one-hectare
plateau where the ruins of an Arawak village were found. The Arawak Indians
occupied the island from about 450 B.C until 550 A.D, building a large circular-
shaped village at this site. Today, their presence lingers in the pottery items and
petroglyphs recently discovered by archaeologists.
