Stone Village in New
England Rated Ancient

NORTH SALEM. n. H.-UUP-
There are indications that Irish
monks lived here as early as 500
A, d.
Several Psychologists . believe
that a stone village recently
eXcavated, was built more than
1000 years ago by Culdee monks
who came from Ireland to escape
the persecution of Norsemen.
Archeologist William B. Good
win OF Hartford, Conn. is convinc-
ed OF the Irish origin Of the ruins.
They consist Of a cluster OF stone
houses, affairs and walls built
around a central plaza.
Bands of Culdees first appeared
in Iceland in 795. They built their
stone houses on Papey Island
where ruins similar to those OF
this community still stand.
According to historians. the mi
grafton from Ireland to New Eng
land shores via Iceland and Green
land is logical since both Irish
and Welsh have legends of the dis
covery Of a continent far to the
westward.
So far no human skeletons, tools
or weapons have been found
There is no clew as to what be
came Of the builders II they were
Culdee monks. They may have
been wiped out by Indians or sail
ed back to their native land
Meanwhile, the stone village at
tracts school classes and archeol
ogy students.
