To GMGEO: You don't need a modern style crane" to move heavy rocks. One man, a strong horse or ox and a long steel pike and you'd be surprised at that you can move. Moreover, we've been using lock and pulley systems for a few thousand years. Moving heavy objects is not rocket science.
You place an entrance to a root cellar toward the south if you can so you have sunlight. The sill is certainly low enough to prevent most sunlight from coming in directly and, of course, you have doors to keep the critters out.

@Anay, I saw your question about places to stay in the area. Amazingly, there are not too many choices. Danbury, CT, about 20 minutes away, is the nearest big place. More locally, there are a few B&Bs and small inns. They vary all over the map in terms of quality and cost, and none of the are particularly near Hawk Rock. If you're after a national chain, Danbury is probably your best bet.

The Julia J. Butterfield Memorial Library, located in the village of Cold Spring, NY serves the village and the surrounding township of Philipstown. For more information, see the library's web site. Photo taken October, 2007.

This is a very nicely preserved megalithic wedge tomb near Kilcar, County Donegal, Ireland. It is easily accessed from the dirt road just to its west. The photo, taken in Spetember, 2004 is facing roughly south.
