Stones may Mark Site of 18th-Century British Fort

Canada Fort Excavation

According to CBC CANADA reports that researchers from Saint Mary's University uncovered traces of what could be an eighteenth-century British fort at the site of the Lunenburg Academy. The professors and adult student first conducted a geophysical survey of the area where historical records place the fort in 1753. The subsequent excavation uncovered two rows of stone that may have been knocked down after the Seven Years War to make way for residential expansion.
