Archaeological Excavation Leppington House

Stockland

In 1821 William Cordeaux was granted 700 acres which he named Leppington. His house and associated farm outbuildings, constructed with convict labour, were occupied for over 130 years as residence while the original land grant remained intact for almost 200 years. Stockland are in the process of incorporating the Leppington House Archaeological Site into a heritage park, with the archaeological remains and park setting as a focal point for recreation activities for the community. Eco Logical Australia provided Stockland with all heritage and archaeological compliance for this project including:
