OK I am sure everyone wants to know why we think the void or chamber is made by the Knight Templars. Well from the info we posted in the post ( tunnels and more found ) I believe we showed proof of 2 Templar Graves, the Castle is in the shape of the Tree of Life, We found many hand cut stones of great quality, many tunnels that carry water to the site and a 996' tunnel that runs west to a round stone foundation that could be a Templar Church. Now we have a well 12' wide with 4' stone walls and 90' deep with a 24'vault chamber under it. Everything about this site says the Knight Templar's were here. Who else would build a well ( NOT A WELL BUT A HOLDING CHAMBER FOR WATER ) This is not a well like everyone thinks, the water is brought in so who ever dug this dug it dry and had plenty of time to work it. Then when ready they ran the water to it and this held a great amount of water ( for what reason). To flood tunnels or Vault Chambers. Its not a well. We believe the water was 90' deep when it was built but something happen for the Templars to fill it in. The 15' room could be a tunnel or smaller room, Not Sure. A lot of ground removal work was done in this area back in the 1960's by the neighbor Sanders. So if this was a escape tunnel most of it is caved in. A few years back Ron Harris asked me to look at Joan Hope's work and try to finish it. Well from what I see Joan Hope and Ron Harris were both right about what they found. This isn't just another Oak Island Money Pit its a new start for a new hunt for answers to what happen here.

News Release
Vaults found below New Ross holy well
Finders Keepers has made seven trips to the site since their appearance on History Channel's America Unearthed TV show. In the season finale entitled 'Hunt for the Holy Grail,' their team investigated a well at the site with the show's host, Scott Wolter. It is known locally as the "holy well" by the native Mi'kmaq people.
Joan and Ron Harris, landowners of the New Ross property from 1972-1990, uncovered stone features and artifacts while landscaping their yard. In a self-published book, Joan Harris attributed their findings to undocumented occupation predating Columbus' arrival in North America.
Dennis Parada supports the theory that Templar treasure was brought to New Ross by Vikings or Henry Sinclair, Earl of Orkney. It has been theorized Sinclair left Europe with the remnants of the Knights Templar
"This site is a duplicate of Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland," said Parada. "The elevation and cardinal direction of both sites match. At Rosslyn there's a 996-foot tunnel from the church to a castle. In New Ross, there's a 996-foot tunnel from the castle to a pile of megalithic stones, possibly marking the spot of a church." Rosslyn Chapel was founded by William Sinclair, 1st Earl of Caithness.
Dye tests conducted by Finders Keepers proved a manmade tunnel, located below the frost line at a depth of 5 feet, carries water from the top of the mountain to the "holy well." According to Parada, the well may have earned the moniker, because it is the only water in New Ross that is safe to drink. Other wells near the site are polluted by uranium in the bedrock, he said.
Joan Harris wrote the well was 50-60 feet deep. Parada measured the well's depth at 20 feet, indicating the there are several feet of Earth between the bottom and the previously undiscovered vaults.
"To locate a void 90 feet under the well is as good as it gets," said Parada. "Oak Island money pit was 90 feet deep. At Rosslyn Chapel they found a chamber at 90 feet with a tunnel."
Parada hopes to raise enough money to conduct a 3D scan of the vaults, which would show them in greater detail and pique the interest of archeologists. A 3D scan of the site could cost upwards of $15,000, he said.
"I want a museum with a team of archeologists or someone like that to come in and finish it," said Dennis Parada. "This is something that has to be done properly. I would not send my son or good friends in (the well). I do not want a repeat of the Oak Island Money Pit where several people died attempting to dig up treasure."

Vaults found below New Ross holy well

The co-founders of Clearfield, Pa. based Finders Keepers claim to have located two vaults below the well at the alleged Castle of the Cross ruins in New Ross, Nova Scotia. Dennis and Kem Parada and their team used ground penetrating equipment to locate a 15-foot vault at a depth of 40 feet and a 25-foot vault at 90 feet.Finders Keepers has made seven trips to the site since their appearance on History Channel's America Unearthed TV show.

?? An interior wall of the well must of fell in. We see traps in a arch we found. I am sure there are other traps in the walls.
