Thanks Blam.
Among Gungywamp's features are stone chambers... Of these, two are intact. One contains a solar calendar: during the spring and autumn equinox, the sun shines through an opening in the west wall and lights the opposite wall, which reflects some light into a smaller, interior, beehive-shaped chamber. Solar timetables helped farmers decide when to plant and harvest crops or avoid crop freeze in the winter and crop rot in the summer. Archaeologists have found no evidence to support the popular theory that medieval Celtic monks built the chambers... Archaeologists have unearthed pottery shards and crude stone flakes used to make arrowheads dating from 2000 B.C. to 700 B.C.
RC dating of a hearth inside a structure at Mystery Hill VT was 2000 B.C. Such structures may have been used for a time opportunistically by post-1492 settlers from Europe, but they were not built by them, and "researchers" who insist that they were should be beaten to death with steel pipes.

Okay, maybe I'm a bit temperamental.

There isn't a popular theory that the sites were built by medieval Celtic monks; whomever built the structures did so long before the Middle Ages.

To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.

Well if you ever go out to the Gungywamp, well you’d better not go at night -
There’s things out there in the middle of them woods that’d make a strong man die from fright...

Dunno, but I dated a grungy vamp not too long ago.

Do I get the prize?
