The investigated place is located on the descent from the base, in a ravine in front of the drain from the dam.

The stones lie at the bottom of the ravine, then the stone wall itself is visible. Where it starts from is not visible due to high dense vegetation (the presence of snakes).

The stone wall has a well-defined slope. Polygonal masonry is absolutely identical to many structures in the world. In appearance, it definitely has every reason to be considered polygonal.

The village arose at the sawmill, which was launched in 1721. The Shaitanka River (its length is about 20 km) was blocked by a dam more than 10 m high and more than 80 m long. A one and a half kilometer pond was formed. A pier for Nikita Demidov's Tagil factories also appeared at the mill. In 1727, an ironworks was built near the dam by Akinfiy Demidov.

In the second half of the 19th century, the existence of the plant was supported by an alloy of "iron caravans". Shaitanka was the exit to the Chusovaya of the Suksun mountain district. 50-60 barges were sent annually by the Nevyansk plant. For caravans, the dam sluices were reequipped, the sluice channel was lined with stone. But the termination of the rafting at the beginning of the 20th century finally undermined the industrial base of Shaitanka.

In Soviet times, Shaitanka was renamed the village of Chusovoye. In Chusovoy there was a dairy farm and a machine-tractor workshop. There was a regular bus. The population was over a thousand people. There was a post office, a school, a hospital. The river near the Shaitan stone was crossed by a suspension bridge, over which even cars sometimes dare to pass. All of this has survived to this day, albeit dilapidated, and on a "reduced scale".
