The principal residence of Avalon, where Calvert and his family lived during the winter of 1628-29 and in which the Kirkes established their residence in 1638, has long been the object of archaeologists working at Ferryland.

An article about the forge that was constructed at the Colony of Avalon, Newfoundland during the summer of 1622, and a look at some of the artifacts that were unearthed there.

During official occupation, the French built a series of fortified structures in favorable locations for the defence of the colony.

Archaeologists, who thought that the 'prettie streete' would be little more than a dirt track meandering through the settlement, were surprised in 1994 to find the first traces of a cobblestone pavement near the western edge of the original settlement.
