The Westford Knight is a controversial stone
feature in Massachusetts. Some believe it is an effigy of a 14th century
knight, evidence carved into stone of an early European visit to the New
World by Henry Sinclair, the Earl of Orkney and Lord of Roslin. In 1954, an
archaeologist encountered the mysterious stone carving, long known to locals
and ascribed a variety of origin stories, and proposed it to be a remnant of
the Sinclair expedition.
The story of the Westford Knight is a mix of history, archaeology, sociology, and Knights Templar lore. This work unravels the threads of the Knight’s history, separating fact from fantasy. |
In New England today, there are megalithic
stones, stone chambers and structures, carvings and petroglyphs, even an
unidentified skeleton in armor that defy easy explanation. From Maine to
Massachusetts, this work presents an examination of various unexplained
historical remains in New England. From the most notorious to the lesser
known, it explores not only the layout and dimensions of such sites—some
reminiscent of Stonehenge with their huge stones, astronomical alignments
and undiscovered purposes—but also the history and possible explanations for
their existence. Theories regarding Norse, Phoenician, Irish, Celtic and Native American origins are presented here in an impartial and logical manner. Sites discussed include Mystery Hill in North Salem, New Hampshire (also known as America's Stonehenge); Dighton Rock in Berkley, Massachusetts; Newport Tower in Newport, Rhode Island; and the Bellows Falls Petroglyphs in Bellows Falls, Vermont. |
America's Stonehenge sits atop Mystery Hill
in North Salem, New Hampshire. It is an acre of stone structures surrounded
by a 12-acre calendar. Alignments and carbon dating indicate the site was
built 4000 years ago. In this book the authors explore the historical and
prehistoric clues left behind at the archaeology site once described as a
'mystery wrapped in an enigma'.
The history of the site is examined and traced from the clues left behind from visitors, residents and researchers, and how that has led to today's research and the current interpretation of the evidence. |
