Gun Shop Cliff is an official historic site located in the Hog Cliffs of northern Barbuda.[1] The Barbuda Island Company once mined guano here in the 1890s.[2] There is also a small stone structure below the cliff that was related to this activity– the structure was built with locally-sourced stone and imported wood, possibly from mainland North America.[3] There is also a cave here.[4]
