“...I was
on some message boards doing some research on ancient Vermont stuff, and one
commenter from Windsor County had written that there was a stone chamber on his
property, but some rowdy kids trespassed and pulled a stone out of the wall
that they thought had Ogham on it, and later, the whole structure collapsed. I
can see why some people aren’t into the idea of these oddities being ancient,
because of the disrespectful visitors they can draw. As an oddity-hunter and
explorer myself, this is why I almost never give out the locations I visit,
because sadly, you can’t trust people not to ruin things. But the biggest cause
of death for these sites is actually by construction projects. Often, they have
been purposely razed to make way for cheap cookie cutter housing developments
or a farmer wanting to expand their hayfield...” https://urbanpostmortem.wordpress.com/2013/11/06/vermonts-mysterious-stone-chambers/

So true.
Stone chambers throughout Europe are recognized as being millennia old, yet here they have to be less than 300 years old. Strange.
"The Upton Chamber in Massachusetts, an earth-covered stone structure 3.4 meters (m) in diameter, with a corbelled stone dome, and a 4.3 m long entrance passageway, is studied with the aim of determining whether optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating methods can be used to establish the approximate construction date of the entranceway. Three samples, taken from soil behind the lowest stones in the wall of the entrance passageway, returned OSL ages between 385 and 660 years ago (or from 1625 A.D. to 1350 A.D.; using the year 2011 as the 0 year). One sample, taken below the bottom of the artifact layers in an archeological test pit in front of the chamber entrance, returned OSL ages between 650 and 880 years ago. A modern sample collected from a nearby fluvial channel returned an age between 55 and 175 years..." http://www.uptonma.gov/sites/uptonma/files/uploads/upton_stone_chamber_-_preliminary_findings.pdf
There's an independent researcher who contends that the stacking of stones around the entrance of the Upton Chamber - and some other chambers as well - resembles the scales found around the eyes of Rattlesnakes. See: http://wakinguponturtleisland.blogspot.com/2016/12/solstice-serpent-eye.html
