Roadside Attractions - starting the weekend early

Here is one of the "Google Maps"statellite views of the Rt 495 Median of which I am so enamoured. Now that it is Friday, I start hoping and planning on taking a walk on the way home this afternoon. Now that the sun is back there are a few more minutes of daylight so post-work/pre-dinner exploring is more of a possibility.

In the overhead view, the two outlines are places where I already found rock piles. Any guesses as to where I should plan on going next? Yes, that little bit of woods on the north side of the highway. Wish me luck.

I was wrong. The only things north of the the road were two rock on rocks and a curious boulder arrangement or two.

recently (this is a year later) I got stuck in traffic southbound where I could get a good look at the site in the median. I tell you that is a complex little ceremonial site with a number of different types of features. It is well protected where it is. But if you live in Tewksbury and want to detail the neighborhood, find some way out to this "island" in the traffic stream.
