- It's called "Mystery Hill". I forget the name of the New Hampshire town it's
- in (Exeter?), but any good guidebook for NH should have it. (It's south and
- west of Manchester, about 10 miles from the local Anheuser-Busch brewery, as I
- visited both sites one summer day over 10 years ago.)

-
- When I visited Mystery Hill, the same group that did the ogham
- "pseudoarchaeology" were the "resident archaeologists" mentioned by Lupo. It's
- Barry Fell's AMERICA B.C. group, whoever they are.
