Investigating the area surrounding this site, more indications suggest that a near-by water fall was built using large stone slab and block method, on very steep terrain. I found a possible native american marker there of a triangle with a single diagonal band that has been carved. This triangle artifact will need to be verified by an expert. if the artifact is Native American, there is an indication of the marker representing a spirit portal. Not clear whether this was placed there long after the sight was built.
There are also 'steps' in the waterfall.
at a third area, more tear drop shapes in large stones that look very similar to a face or could be something else.
this site is quite large and is being investigated further. site was originally found on 6 june, 2009.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Location given is for the town of Robbinsville
