According
to popular lore, this unique rock formation on the slope of Little Round Top is
known as the “Curious Rocks.” It is believed that Union troops used these rocks
as cover during the battle. Any soldiers of Irish origin may have drawn a
comparison between this small formation and the dolmens of Ireland (a pile of
rock slabs with a rock “roof”, once used to house the dead. I urge you to look
these places up. They’re fascinating). Unfortunately, little more is known of
the Curious Rocks. I *do* know that aren’t nearly as fragile as they seem, as
they’ve stood in places for millions of years!
