Field Trip- Thompson, Ct. Sites
A friend showed me some sites in Thompson, Ct., just over the modern-day state line from Webster/Dudley area. Apparently this town is loaded with Ceremonial Stone-works of a unique nature, although we only got around to seeing some of the sites my friend wanted to show me. So, I will have to return to this area sometime. Here are some of the pics from my field trip:
This is the "Hermit's Cave", one of many "hollows in the hills" in our region:
View of the entrance from inside:
A couple pics of a unique cairn structure. The top has toppled over, but is still as tall as a person:
More cairns in the same style (looks like the kind of flat stones I have seen pictures of from Pennsylvania cairn fields. Maybe this area, like Turner's Falls, was a meeting place?) :
A perched boulder, partially propped:
Now this is the kind of cairn common to my immediate area:
Couple pics of an awesome propped boulder, almost a complete dolmen:
Another view:
Another Chamber. This one had a double room in it:
Another Chamber on the Blackmerr Farm property:
A Standing Stone in the middle of a field, off one of the main roads:
As far as Thompson, Ct. is concerned, there is more to see/explore. "I'll be back."
