The Clyde Farm Site (7NC-E-6) is a prehistoric archaeological site in rural New Castle County, Delaware. Its main features are remnants of a pit house, storage area, and hearth, dating to c. 1000 BCE. Another area where stone tools were produced was also identified during excavations in 1984. The site has been known, and the subject of both amateur and professional archaeological interest, since at least the 1930s. It is described as being located near the fall line of a waterway and also an estuarine area.[2]

The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.[1]
