Follins Pond: Connected to the Nantucket Sound via Bass River, in the
1950's shore rocks were found along the pond into which were drilled
holes that strongly resembled Norse mooring stones (the Norse were
known to drill holes into which iron pins were inserted for the
purpose of mooring their knarrer). It was claimed that the tops of
the posts were about a foot underground, and arranged in a pattern
that might have been for either a Norse shipyard or drydock. At about
the same time a 'Viking horse bone' was unearthed at Follins Pond. It
was of the opinion that at least a few horses were brought from
Greenland by the Norse on their further voyages of exploration.

Golf Courses: Close to 4 golf courses. Dennis Pines, Dennis Highlands,
