PAYNE LAKE
Payne Lake, in the center of Ungava Peninsula, has a set of twelve rectangular foundations with indications of stone floors, one foundation for a larger building, and evidence of a dam and a causeway for wheeled carts. (Lee, 1968)
Comment: "Payne Lake" sounds as if it were an English name. However the lake outline on a map looks like a frying pan--upside down. "Panne" is an Old Norse word meaning, "pan." Thus the original name of "Payne Lake" has even odds that it was named by Norse after the pan shape as being named for an Englishman who walked through.
