With a great deal of sadness, I have to report that the Diagonal Stone Fish Weir by the site of the Nonnewaug Wigwams is now very much gone.
Almost all of the remnants of the weir were destroyed by a 2024 flood on the 69th anniversary of the Great Flood of August 18-19 in 1955: https://wakinguponturtleisland.blogspot.com/2024/08/the-one-in-thousand-flood-nonnewaugct.html

Sorry to see it go.
It's like losing an old friend. I'd always hoped someone would find it at least a little bit interesting and worthy of study, if not preservation...
You photos will be the only record.
