(Above) Carl Ferreira looks over one of many ceremonial stone structures that he was able to locate in the woods at the end of Kelton Street above Bad Luck Pond in Rehoboth on a walk there with Rock Singewald on November 15, 2020. Click here for a six-minute video of the walk.

(Above) Rock and Carl head up a small rise where they encounter one of many stone structures that are clearly man-made but suggest no utilitarian use such as stone fences and are presumed to be constructed by Pokanoket people hundreds if not thousands of years ago.

(Above) Rock looks out over nearby Bad Luck Pond which is close to the Anawan Club in Rehoboth and then examines more stone structures, one of which is in the shape of an undulating serpent pointed toward the Pond.

(Above) Carl points out one of many constructed niches along a large stone structure in the shape of a whale that may have been used to place offerings, such as tobacco.
