Andover-Swain-Canisteo-Angelica



Just when I think all of the cairns in Western New York have been discovered more of them reveal themselves. This week Norman M. sent me a packet of information developed by David Robinson and his son Andrew. Include in the packet was a picture of a large, well stacked cairn located in Swain. David Robinson told me about this cairn years ago. He said it started his interest in research Native Archeology in Western New York.

Also documented was a perfect beehive cairn located near Andover New York. These beehive cairns are interesting. I saw one near Cinnamon Lake just East of Corning. There is at least one more cairn in the picture.

The packet also contained information on a site near Canisteo. This site included a good sized circular cairn and a large slide that may have been a collapsed cairn.

Still another site was mentioned North of Angelica. No pictures were included. 

I plan on visiting all of these sites during my April vacation.
