I was doing genealogical research of my mom’s ancestors in East Yorkshire, England and I stumbled upon some great legends about fairies partying and dancing in a mound. The mound wasn’t marked on Google Maps and it took me a while to find it. I eventually located it and marked it.

In the past 12 to 18 months, a million people have looked at that spot I identified on Google Maps! I was shocked when I got a hit within a day or two of locating it, but am super-shocked that a million people have looked at it!

Unfortunately, I didn’t save the location and I cannot find a way for Google to let me locate the site I marked, so I lost it!

I found it. Didn't take too long. It's called the "Willy Howe Mound."
