My famous Ex, Meredith, lived on a property in Connecticut that had a stone chamber. When I was a kid in New Jersey there were lots of peculiar masonry structures scattered through the remaining bits of swampy woodland. Some of them were concrete and of fairly recent vintage. Others were masonry and probably older. Local kid wisdom was that they were “Civil War ammunition bunkers”, or hiding places for slaves from the underground railroad. Whatever they were, they seemed to be known only to kids and were unknown to or at least unmentioned by grownups.
