Cole bay: --- The owners of Seaside Nature Park Roderick Halley are concerned about one of his recent discoveries inside of the Indigo Bay Plot. Halley called on reporters to check out some special looking rocks which were found piled up for ages on the hillside of Indigo Bay project.

The set of stones which has a beautiful black color is neatly placed one on top of the other. Halley is convinced that these rocks have something to do with the past generation during the days of slavery. He said he contacted the owners of the property who said they did not even know what is on the hills where Indigo was dredging out. Halley said he also called on the SIMARC to go and check and see if the stones and its location can be preserved as a historical site but so far no one from SIMARC went to the location. Presently the Cole Bay community council is looking into the matter Halley said.

Also found on the hills is another slave wall which Halley said the developers would break down when they resume working.

Mr. Haviser you need to go and see what that is, its not the rock wall that you documented. The two salaries you are receiving is to protect the island and its historic treasures, not the island government. If you want to be a politician then postulate next election. report abuse vote down vote up

If this site is not the one in the SIMARC archaeological survey of Indigo Bay, then perhaps it is not on the Indigo Bay property. It would be nice if Mr. Halley could better inform exactly where it is. Thank you for discouraging me from any further contributions online. report abuse vote down vote up
