 Contant Point: Contant Hill forms the north flank of Calvary
Bay, Contant Point and the sheer coast northward to Turner Bay.
North of the hill is a large trapped embayment and shallow pond.
This low spot swings around to the northwest and forms the
south limits of the settlement of Cruz Bay. There is no evidence
of prehistoric occupation in this area. These same negative results
also apply to Moravian Point, Frank Bay, and Gallows Point.
 Cruz Bay: Cruz Bay is formed by the projection of Gallows
Point and Lind Point and offers a protected harbor facing to the
west. Having its head to the prevailing winds and seas, it is one
of the best situations for use and occupation on the island, whether
for aboriginal or modern cultural needs. Thus, the finding of a
prehistoric settlement here would almost be a foregone conclusion.
Hatt and others have reported such a site, and it was relocated by
the survey at the present location of the Cruz Bay school. A small
bank immediately south of the school grounds exposes a remnant
of the village area and indicates occupation of some duration. How-
ever, most of the settlement has been destroyed by modern develop-
ment.
 Petroglyphic Sites: Designated as Site 13 in upper Reef Valley
and Site 20 on the eastern tip of Congo Cay (Plate VII) are two
petroglyphic locations. As both of these are adequately described
in de Booy (de Booy, 1917b; 1919, 47-59), no further attention will
be given to them here except to underscore their importance for
preservation.
