The Bayers Lake Mystery Walls are a series of stone structures and walls of unknown origin and uncertain age in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Overview

The ruins consist of walls outlining a small five-sided building and a 150-metre wall with ditches,[1][2] both made with flat-surfaced ironstone slate rocks ruins on the slope of a hill overlooking the Bayers Lake Park.[3] The mysterious ruins pose many unanswered questions for archaeologists.[4] The most common explanation suggests a military purpose, either a training installation or a defensive work. The walls are a protected archaeological site designated under Nova Scotia's Special Places Act.[5][6][7][8][9][10]
