America's Stonehenge
Date Added: 17th Mar 2019
Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: United States (New England)
Visited: Yes on 1st Jan 2016. My rating: Access 3
America's Stonehenge submitted by thecaptain on 14th Dec 2003. The sacrificial table at Mystery Hill, also known as America's Stonehenge, near Salem, New Hampshire. Is it an ancient site or a fairly modern construction ? They say its over 4000 years old, but who built it ?
When I visited 10 to 15 years ago it was a really horrible wet day, so I didnt get many pictures. And I have to say, that despite their best efforts to assure me that carbon dating of objects prove it to be 4000 years old, the stones just didnt look weathered enough to me.

Log Text: Had this place more or less to myself, it is quite hidden away and not many folk know about it. The access is through the visitor's centre. Who built it or what it was for is still unknown but a four of the stones are set up to equinox and solstice.
