America's StonehengeThe first radiocarbon test on the site took place in 1967. A tree stump was found with its roots growing around and through a stone structure. The date was 1690 + 45 years. Here was proof that at least some of the structures existed before the Pattee occupation... In 1969 more excavations revealed stone tools and charcoal which carbon-dated to approximately 3000 years BP.

1997Louis WinklerDr. Winklers current research is focused on the megalithic complex in New Hampshire known as Mystery Hill and Americas Stonehenge. He is the principal site scientist, having shown, with laser theodolite and radiocarbon datings that the site has a Bronze Age Origin (2000 BC 1500 BC), which may be the center of an ancient European civilization.

The place is in ruins. There are just a few identifiable features and it might be that those are rebuilds. The biggest recognizeable piece is a flat stone with a blood groove running around it. That feature might indicate a blood sacrifice practice similar to what was commonly done in Europe and the Levant before Abraham. Thus we think the site was European.
