Monument 1
Physical charestics
This is the most northern of the five as yet
located monuments. It is situated on the
height of land on an isolated hill. It is
seven feet tall, five feet
wide in the north/south dimension, and seven feet wide in
the east/west dimension at the base.
The monument is not "Rectangular" in the true sense it is more
ovate( a little like an football). It appears to of been layer up
in a spiral fashion
There is a small stone lined "fire
pit" that has a " stone lid " for the chimney opening and a
lintel over the front opening to support that lid. There is
evidence of a recent fire in this feature. It is located 25
feet on a magnetic heading of 154 degrees magnetic ( the
iosgonigal is 15 degree plus). This feature lines up with the
thickest section of the main monument.
This is a geological map of the area. As you will note the Monument is
off the edge of the map. When the Quadangle map of this area is released
we will continue the plot. It is noteable that this monument is on the
same geological formation as Monument 3, 4, and possibly 5. It is believed
that this same formation also runs down the spine of Putney Mountain.
