Cathy Taylor, Caretaker with the Narragansett Indian Tribal Historic Preservation Trust, describes an Algonquian ‘hussanegk’, a stone built chamber with a 14′ tunnel leading into a dome shaped sphere. It is aligned with celestial events with cultural features on Pratt Hill including the Pleiades setting in May and the summer solstice sun set in late June. Upton, MA supported preservation of the cave and the seven-acre parcel that was later named Heritage Park. Free.
