Summary of ancient Nova Scotia sites and artifacts discussed in these materials
This summary of the sites and artifacts is presented in the order of their first appearance in the archived material (in terms of index number sequence).
Sibley Stone.
Occasionally (rarely) called the “Waverley Stone” or the “Airport Dolmen.” 3 Reported to Donald Bird by Colin Sibley in fall of 1988,1, 41, 46, 49, 57 but originally discovered by Sibley at an earlier date.33 A 25-ton grey boulder balanced on three smaller stones.24, 49 Rests on a granite dome surrounded by a platform of fitted stones in a circular pattern.33, 49,Near the large stone, south-east on the platform,49 is a smaller “altar” stone, about the size of a kitchen table, also supported by four smaller stones.35 Possibly a Masonic emblem carved on the top of the large stone.36, 48 Includes a “lookout” stone nearby.37 Sketch of cross-section and plan view.39, 40 Professional opinion invariably suggests a natural explanation for this structure. Location shown on map,9, 12 about 3 miles from the Halifax airport.46,f,g
Waverley Ruins.
Also called the “Rocky Lake Drive” ruins. Found by Jack MacNab in 1992-09.10, 75, 79 The site includes a round structure of dry stone,74 three feet high and twelve feet in diameter.79 There are also standing stones that resemble grave markers,10, 11, 79 a structure that looks like a table,75, 79 and three beehive-like stone formations with holes at the top that appear to be fireplaces.75, 79 Looked interesting to one museum archaeologist,11 another professional opinion suggested that the structure could be a hunter’s blind or play fort erected by children. Located near the western shore of Lake William.10 Shown on a rough map as “New Site”.80
Lilly Lake Petroglyph.
Found by Jack MacNab in 1988.75 (Colin Clarke appears mistaken in giving a date of 1991 for this discovery).78 Appears to be European in design.75 Looks like a shield with various symbols (sun, moon, star, and cross?) and the Roman numeral IV.75, 80, 85 Looked interesting to a museum archaeologist.11 Location shown on a rough map.80 Colin Clarke has tried to find it again recently and claims that the large stone has been removed.
Mount Hanley Stone.
Found by Eddie Hare [in 1982?].14 Rectangular stone with pattern of scratches, possibly 5th century Ogam inscription.14 Thought to be a British colonial boundary marker by a museum archaeologist.14 Located in the dooryard of Isabell Hare, Mount Hanley. 14
Fletcher Stone. Also called the “Yarmouth Stone.” Found by Richard Fletcher in 1812, on the west side of Yarmouth Harbour. About the size of an anvil. Has an inscription that is controversial. Now located in the Yarmouth Museum.
Fletcher Stone.
Also called the “Yarmouth Stone.” Found by Richard Fletcher in 1812, on the west side of Yarmouth Harbour; size: 31x20x13 inches. , Has an inscription that is controversial.55,j,k Now located in the Yarmouth Museum.31
Cole Harbour Axe.
Steel axe head found near Cole Harbour31, 55 in Guysborough County. Found 300 yards from shore, under pine needles, on a cove [Grovers?] back of Tor Bay. , It is inscribed with Norse code runes, possibly dating it to the 11th century, but some archaeologists date it no earlier than the 18th century. It also apparently has the imprimatur of its maker, Engr, in wend-runes. As late as 1961 it was reported to be in the possession of the widow of William B. Goodwin, Hartford, Connecticut.m,n In a later reference, however, Frederick Pohl denies its antiquity and even its Norse manufacture. The axe is also shown in Fell’s Saga America, although the identification in the caption is reversed with the Rocky Nook axe rubbing.
Rocking Stone.
Known from earliest colonial times and frequented as a natural oddity. , Large granite boulder balanced on one or two small stones that allowed it to be moved with a lever in historical times. Located at Kidston Lake, Spryfield. 37
Kidston Stone.
Reported to Donald Bird by Janet Kidston in 1990.37, 47 A large table rock supported by smaller stones on a natural granite platform.37, , d Includes a second smaller “altar” stone
nearby, and a “lookout” stone (also called a “Tyler” stone by Bird).37, Located a short distance past the Spryfield Rocking Stone. 37, g
Hillsburn Stone Circle.
Also called the “North Mountain” stone circle. Reported to Donald Bird by W. Bruce Gillis37 on 1990-01-04,65 based on his visit to the site, which was pointed out to him by someone
else.65 It is a circle of stones 18 feet in diameter, with an opening on one side.65 The centre is depressed.65 Photo-mosaics66, 69, 70, 71 were provided by Nick Casel on 1991-04-21.68 Located at the top of North Mountain,37, 48near Hillsburn, as shown on the map.67
Crouse Stone Ramp.
Reported to Donald Bird on 1988-06-25 by Merle Crouse.42 A pile of stones about 14 feet long, and 3 feet high, sloped like a loading ramp.42 Located near Little Wentworth Lake,
Queen’s County, near the Lunenburg County Line.42
Devil’s Kitchen.
Reported to Donald Bird on 1988-06-25 by Merle Crouse.42 Based on an earlier report by Eddie Mandaggie,42 but known to local people since at least the 1950’s.43 Looks like a basement or foundation made with very large stones; about 4 feet deep.42 Located south-west of Little Wentworth Lake, Queen ’s County.42
Debert Paleo-Indian Site.
Discovered by E. S. Eaton in 1948. Paleo-Indian dwelling area. Artifacts have been dated to about 10,600 years ago. Well studied by archaeologists, starting in 1962.55 Located near Debert and Belmont in Colchester County.
Merigomish Island Graves.
A Mi’kmaq cemetery was discovered on Big Island in 1874.55 It had been in use until 1837. Excavations in 1929 revealed many short-lived settlements over a long period. There was evidence that Eskimo may have once occupied the site, and were driven out by Mi’kmaq. The Mi’kmaq themselves may have been driven out for a time by Iroquois. Located 30 km west of Antigonish, on the Northumberland Strait.
Oak Island Money Pit.
Discovered by Daniel McGinnis in 1795. Extensive digging has yielded controversial results and a few artifacts. Oak planks found in the pit have been C14 dated to 1550-1600 AD, but some spruce planks have yielded dates of 860 and 1135 AD. Woods Hole scientists have dated coconut fibre collected beneath a beach on the Island to approximately 1100 AD. BIO scientists also studied the underwater area around the Island. Digging has been motivated by the hope of finding buried treasure. 55, Located near the western shore of Mahone Bay.
Bayer’s Lake Walls.
Also called the “Mystery Walls”.74 Colin Clarke had been told about them in 1946, and had looked for them, but didn’t find them.i Reported by Jack MacNab in 1990-11, but
discovered during an engineering survey by a land developer in 1990-09.74 A sturdy rock wall approximately 400m long, following the crest of a tall ridge.77 A large stone foundation is present past the north end of the wall,77, and a smaller foundation has been found (in 1992)83 east of that. Sketch of how structures may have been used.82 Plan of the site shown in a couple of sketches.81, 83 Located on the south-west corner lot of the intersection of highways 102 and 103. Colin Clarke found chisel marks on the rock face just behind The Gate,i I also found some tool marks on a rock face east of the small foundation. Site is shown on a rough map, 80 see more detailed map.
Eagle Rock.
Also (formerly) known as “Trafalgar Rock” (but not to be confused with “Admiral’s Rock,” which is closer to the water). Large stone (size of a small car) sitting on three melon-sized pedestals,d perched on the edge of a tall cliff (called Eagle Nest) overlooking Bedford Basin.79 , g There is a local legend sometimes associated with Trafalgar Rock, (although sometimes the same legend is associated with Admiral’s Rock. ) Located at the top of Eaglewood subdivision in Bedford.75 Shown on a rough map, 80 see more detailed map.
Bedford Petroglyphs.
Found by Jack MacNab in 1982,75, 77 (however, another source claims that they were found by Michael Ross in 1983, and another gives the date as 1989). Created by Mi’kmaq
people around 400 years ago,75 , ss, (although another source claims that they were made more recently, using metal tools). It appears that there are just two figures, next to each
other, at a single location.vv Located now within a Bedford housing development, near highway 102. At end of Emmerson St., the petroglyphs are roughly north of the guard rail, between the driveway on the left and the backyard on the right, see map.
Waverley Ridge Fireplaces.
Found by Jack MacNab in 1991.78 Location vague.
Lake William Dolmen Stones.
Found by Colin Clarke in 1992.79 Located on the edge of ridges, perched on 3 stones, with a view of Lake William, Bedford Basin, and Geizer Hill.79 Location vague,g but on a rough map.80 [He has also found a small dolmen stone near the gate of the Municipal quarry off Rocky Lake Road].i
Bedford Shore Rock Writing.
Found by Jack MacNab prior to 1992,83 on cliff face at sea level.85 The pictures are below where a large stone is perched on three smaller stones at the top edge of the cliff.85 Some
of these designs appear to be modern motifs,85 others appear Egyptian, but a professional opinion suggested they were a hoax. This area is known to have been used by recreational picnickers from Halifax for many years. Location vague.
