America's Stonehenge (Mystery Hill) Pt. 8- The Oracle Chamber (Main Site Pt V)
The Oracle Chamber is perhaps the largest feature of the main site; and certainly the largest and most significant Chamber on site. It is within proximity of the Table Dolmen. There is a "speaking tube" hidden within the Oracle Chamber (thus the name) which could have had a shamanic/ and/or acoustic effect on ceremonies being performed by the Table Dolmen.

Petro-glyph stone within the Oracle Chamber. Has been interpreted as either a running deer or as a view of the Merrimack River watershed as viewed from nearby Haverhill, MA. The topography maps show an identical shape to the river as this:
Nearby to the petroglyph is this niche-spot in the Oracle Chamber:
