Two vertical limestone slabs or 'stele' were discovered by former State Park Archaeologist Ripley Bullen in 1964 as part of an extensive archaeological survey of the park. The function of these slabs is uncertain although they appear to have been used as a type of marker. An astronomical connection has been suggested but not proven.
