When you document our ancient stone mysteries in the woods and forests of New England, you notice as the falling leaves of Autumn yield to “stick season” that the stones begin to show up better in footage and photos. Overcast days in late Fall and early Spring are the best for shooting old stonework. The stones really stand out. So, the dreary, grey Vermont weekend just past made for ideal weather for my first visits to a new-to-me stonework site about a half-hour outside of Burlington, in a Hollow near the mountain known as Camel’s Hump and the Winooski River.

A tip from YouTube viewer Michelle S. led me to the possible Serpent Rows and Stone Prayers. She got in touch about some other stone features from my videos and asked if I’d explored this Hollow. I had not. She was kind enough to provide me with some good directions on where to see the possible ancient Indigenous stonework, the design of which resembles Stone Prayers seen in Massachusetts, Maine and elsewhere throughout New England.
