Grates Cove, Newfoundland and Labrador

Grates Cove ( NST) is the most northerly community on the Avalon Peninsula, located on the tip of the Bay de Verde Peninsula in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Called "the Grates" by John Guy as early as 1612, the origin of the name is unknown.
History.
Grates Cove was first settled in 1790 by four families from Lower Island Cove and one family from Old Perlican. It is believed that Grates Cove was visited by seasonal fisherman before this and some have expressed the belief that it was visited as early as 1497 by John Cabot. This speculation has been fueled by the presence of a large rock high above the water on a cliff face located in Grates Cove. As Harold Horwood states, "some of those who formerly examined it, including a curator of the Newfoundland Museum, professed to be able to read the names IO CABOTO, SANCIUS and SAINMALIA quite plainly." 
National Historic Site.
The "Walled Landscape of Grates Cove" was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1995. The designated site comprises of grassy landscape containing small gardens demarcated by stone walls. The area represents a rare surviving example of a communal system of land and community organization unique to Newfoundland.
