 The Sabazan well near Dumfries on Carriacou Location: South Eastern Area of Carriacou near Dumfries.
Sabazan was probably the most elaborate of the large estate houses on Carriacou.
Constructed in the late 1700's or early 1800's the ruins contain an old well,
six foundations, a tower looking towards the sea and an elaborate cistern
system. (Frances Kay Brinkley, Pers. Comm.)
Significance of the Area: The ruins reflect the history of agricultural
development and the importance of water in Carriacou. It is a site of an
important Amerindian settlement. Nearby, at Dumfries is an old Cotton gin, lime
factory and French foundation. It is the home of some rare birds, e.g. the
mangrove cuckoo.
