HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA—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 students first conducted a geophysical survey of the area where historical records place the fort in 1753. The subsequent excavation uncovered two rows of stones that may have been part of a fence post or a palisade. The star-shaped fort is thought to have been built of earth and wood and surrounded with a dry ditch, and may have been knocked down after the Seven Years War to make way for residential expansion.
