Once thought buried beneath centuries of river reshaping from railroads and dams, the structure was found using sonar and underwater exploration near where a brook met the Connecticut River. A seasoned diver spotted what looks like its stone foundation—confirmed by photos and measurements. This discovery not only illuminates colonial military strategy but also aligns perfectly with next year’s 250th anniversary of a key military crossing, offering fresh insight into America’s early frontier history.
