More recent work at the site suggests that William Goodwin, who acquired the property in 1937, is probably responsible for much of the appearance of the structures. He quarried and moved stones to help substantiate he belief that the site was built by Pre-Columbian monks who came to the New World. Some of the stones bear marks from drills used to quarry them. The grooved slab that is attributed to a sacrificial alter is similar to stones that were designed to leach lye from wood ashes or collected apple juice during cider production. Other than the structures, no Old-World artifacts have been found at the site.
