It is the ruins of the great house of the Enighed sugar plantation, a plantation probably established in the mid-1700s by William Wood (1692-1757). Wood was born on the Dutch island of Saba; his gravestone is to the rear of the great house. The plantation was definitely in the family, in ownership of Johannes Woods, by 1786, and the family owned the plantation until 1821, except for the period of 1787–1797.[2]
