On a roll today. Enjoy.
Well, Phoenix is only 1100 miles away!
The walls in Rockwall are proven t be a natural feature.
Even the cable television guy that does the America Unearthed series, Scott Wolter agreed with that assessment.
telling of government agents bulldozing the site and threatening the owners with dire consequences if they let anyone dig on their property again.

I did not read the entire article. But if this was built with that much effort have they done any digs inside or around it. There would certainly be some “evidence” of daily life that could be identified and/or dated.
Interested in the subject but writer is far too wordy. Got bored skipped to comments.
Just rocks. The guy has a vivid imagination and a little learning.
If there ever was anything on Weyerhauser property they would obliterate it. They have plowed, planted, built roads and otherwise disturbed that country since the 70s. Before that Dierks Lumber was all over it and before that Choctaw Timber Company cut ALL the old growth off of it everywhere they could reach. It did not take long to destroy all pristine traces of the forest from the post Civil War years.
In the 70s there were a few old men who remember other old men telling them the old growth pine were so big and thick there was almost no under story brush. You could see deer 100 yards away.
My uncle found some runic stones while building fish ponds along the Kiamichi River near Albion. The dirt contractor claimed he had found “many”. I am doubtful. No evidence was ever produced.
There are no minerals in SE Oklahoma to speak of. It is all just sandstone and shale. Some quartz to the East in Arkansas but that is all.
SE Oklahoma as to have been largely uninhabited until the Choctaw relocation. Just rugged country with good rainfall but dry mountains and slow running muddy creeks and rivers.
