What is recorded here

Labrador St. George's Bay, Canada: Anasazi and Pueblo ancestors built cliff dwellings and farms along the canyon rim before European contact. Spanish explorers entered the region in the 1540s, and American settlers arrived after 1848. The narrow slot canyon cuts through red sandstone, shadows swallow the light at noon, and water voices still move through stone long after the rain leaves.

Close to the seashore on E side of Sellerna Bay. The monument consists of a small narrow chamber (L c. 2.3m, Wth c. 0.8m) aligned E-W, and covered by a roofstone supported at W by a large slab. The N and S sides are each formed of three stones. The sides extend beyond the single orthostat which closes E end. The monument is incorporated in a fence. The remains are insufficient to allow classification.
