The plantation remnants include a plantation office building (c. 1825), a mid-19th century brick dwelling house, the Brodnax family cemetery, the remains of an extensive boxwood garden, and numerous below-grade foundations. The office and dwelling house were restored in 1983. Site 31RK1 is located on the Lower Sauratown Plantation and includes the remains of a large 17th-century Indian village of the Saura tribe.
