Description
Interior of the "Old Stone Fort."
The flat expanse enclosed by the earth and stone walls and cliffs dropping down to the Duck River shows no evidence of settlement.
Was this a gathering place for government or religion? Was it a place where all those of the society periodically went for celebration or instruction, or a ritual area where a chosen few might commune with the spirit world?
The entry way is roughly aligned with the summer solstice (off by about 1 degree,) but that is also the orientation of the neck of land.
