The 9.15-acre historic district includes the house, designed <br /> gardens, a portion of the historic driveway, the Cameron-Moore-Waddell cemetery, and known <br /> archaeological sites. The boundaries follow the house's curtilage(i.e.,mown lawn surrounding the <br /> house, or designed grounds) and excludes agricultural pastures and native woodlands. On the <br /> south, it follows an extent fence line; wraps around the cemetery; follows the eastern edge of the <br /> west pasture; skirts the copse in the northwest and north; follows the western edge of the <br /> northeastern and southeastern pastures; and concludes at the southern fence line whence it started. <br /> Boundary Justification <br /> (Explain why the boundaries were selected.) <br /> The 9.15-acre Moorefields Historic District boundaries roughly follow the boundaries for the <br /> 10.66-acre Parcel A, surveyed by Douglas R. Yarborough in April 2024 (see citation), that is not <br /> under conservation easement, except for a half-acre south of the fence line that is currently used <br /> as vehicular parking and may be expanded for continued parking needs and a small, triangular <br /> portion in the northwest corner that holds a prefabricated utility shed and a maintenance activity <br /> area. <br /> 11.
