Stone Enclosures in New London County, Connecticut.
A housing development planned in Connecticut, north of Mystic, will incorporate a prehistoric stone enclosure site on the grounds, and some provisions for protection. Information on the site is extremely limited and the location is approximate.
The brief description make the structures sound somewhat similar to nearby Gungywamp.
Note: Note: See for comment for an article describing the housing development plan. Any additional information on this site is appreciated.
