1. Complete Decauville Rail System wheel, Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, 2015
- Description:
- Two surviving Decauville Rail System wheels, embossed with “Decauville Aine Petit-Bourg IS80,” and found near the ingenio site, are today in the collection of a hotel in Puerto Baquerizo Moreno. Traction-powered rail systems designed for transporting harvested intact cane stalks from the fields employed long platform trucks with eight wheels on 20 inch gauge tracks of 14 lb rails with fixed sleepers. Each cart with iron baskets held up to 1300 lbs and was pulled by oxen tethered with long yolks on each side of the track.

5. Structure with Tunnel Opening 2014
- Description:
- The stub of a volcanic stone and mortar structure lies directly across and down slope from the adjoined basins. On its east side is a tunnel opening that is connected to the base of the smoke stack. Conceivably, water from the cisterns was channeled toward boilers heated above the structure with the underground tunnel.

6. Smoke Stack Base 2016
- Description:
- The largest preserved feature is an approximately 3.5 m² by 4 m high structure which may have been part of the tall central building that dominated the historic ingenio. This structure may have been vented by the chimney in the historic photo. Constructed of finished volcanic rock and mortar, it has an arched opening on its western side which leads into a deep pit which likely functioned as the combustion chamber.

11. HRT Fire Tube Boiler 2017
- Description:
- This intact boiler, one of the two preserved examples, provided the necessary steam required to operate the press engine and other processing equipment. The holes on the end plates suggest that the steam was supplied by a system of horizontal return tubular (HRT) fire tube boilers. Each opening was connected by a horizontal tube to its counterpart on the opposite end. Heat was conducted from the externally-fired dutch oven through each tube via a flue on the back end of the combustion chamber. The multiple tubes created a large surface area for heating the surrounding water within the sealed boiler. At least 114 openings can be counted on one intact boiler end. Deerr (1911:404) calculated that a seven foot diameter boiler with 120 tubes can supply 1800 ft² of heating surface.

12. Water Cisterns
- Description:
- A large in-ground water retention basin background), measuring approximately 16x9 m and constructed of thick volcanic rock and marine sand mortar walls over 1 m wide and 2 to 3 m high, dominates the northern end of the mill area. An opening at the bottom of the deepest corner of the basin transferred water into a smaller and deeper adjoining water reservoir (foreground) with a metal tube drain imbedded in its west wall. The smaller reservoir is located close to the stone wall with a tunneled flue connected to the smokestack.
