Gungywamp, Archaeological site in Groton, United States
The Gungywamp complex contains stone chambers, meandering walls, and multiple stone circles spread across 100 acres of woodland and swamp terrain.
Archaeological excavations at the site uncovered Native American artifacts dating from 2000 BC, including stone tools, pottery fragments, and arrowheads.
The site features two preserved stone chambers and a double stone circle formation that indicates both Native American and colonial settlement patterns.
The Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center conducts guided tours lasting two hours over 1.5 miles of uneven terrain through the archaeological preserve.
One stone chamber contains a small window that aligns with the equinox sun, creating specific light patterns inside the structure.
