VISIT TO A VERMONT STONE CHAMBER - Page 2

Here we are inside examining the walls and ceiling. As you can see it is quite roomy. The ceiling is made with nine very large flat rocks that seem to have a texture of sandstone, which makes them different from the other rocks used in the construction. Regardless of where they came from, a lot of very hard labor was involved in constructing this chamber.

At the far end of the chamber there is a vent in the ceiling that appears to have been part of the original construction. There are no traces of carbon from smoke and its purpose remains unknown. The grain of one of the ceiling stones can be seen on the left.

One of Fell's claims was that there were names of gods and other words inscribed on the rocks inside the chamber. We saw lots of scratches and the name "Palmer" inscribed in the stone, as well as this "cross-hatching" which appeared in two places. I was impressed when I saw it face-on, but in this angle shot made to show crevices it just seems to be two scrapes crossing some natural ridges in the rock.

Further up the hill behind the chamber was this platform which seems to be a solid foundation for a cabin or out-building. Between here and the chamber were the remains of a tall stone kiln, with a curved inner wall of firebricks visible at the base.

This pile of rocks lies at the end of the treeline beyond the platform. They were probably dragged here by a tractor to clear the fields for cultivation. Notice the scrape marks.
