I still have two more sites from this weekend to report on: Wilderness Hill and Newtown Hill. Here it is Tuesday and it is hard to keep up with the latest breaking rock pile news. So this weekend only started with that site near Sarah Doublet. It continued at Wilderness Hill with my friend from Carlisle. This is now called "Prouty Woods Community Forest" which you enter from the north. We had explored some parts of the hill before, with some success, and I wanted to explore other parts, especially down on the southern side, the lake side, where the hill fronts on Fort Pond.
You walk in on a dirt road and on the left there is a site between the road and the swamp. The piles are mostly low ground piles with what look like burnt rock in each one:
Here is a nice little structure:
A small pile at the base of a small boulder.
And here is a split-wedged rock. My friend is happy to see them:
We are used to seeing split wedged rocks placed like this at the edge of the water. There was one the weekend before last in Shirley.
Rounding out this small site were two nicely formed oval ground piles. But they have very little character that I can see.

4th picture down: Magnum PI might look at that picture and conclude somebody moved that very turtle-head shaped stone to pull out that very plastron shaped stone to see if anything was underneath it, as if it were on of those caches those people with the GPS things go around hiding and finding...
I mean "one of those caches."
