Some think the stones were a make-shift fort used by soldiers to hide behind in time of war, to protect from soldiers coming up the river. The French had a fur-trading post in Sherbrooke in 1755, but were driven out by the English. There is a root cellar close by, but the only known settler there would have had to cross a raging brook in wintertime to get to the root cellar.
