America's Stonehenge, Archaeological site in Salem, New Hampshire, United States
The site contains thirteen stone chambers, multiple enclosures, stone walls, and various drains spread across a one-acre central complex near Mystery Hill.
Carbon dating reveals continuous human occupation spanning 2,500 years, with construction activities beginning approximately 3,000 years ago at this location.
Native American artifacts, including tools and pottery fragments, indicate sustained indigenous presence and activities throughout the archaeological complex.
The trail extends half a mile with uneven rocky terrain, requiring visitors to wear appropriate footwear and carry children in backpacks rather than strollers.
The stone structures function as an astronomical calendar, precisely aligning with specific solar and lunar events throughout the annual cycle.
