This is about rock piles and stone mound sites in New England. A balance is needed between keeping them secret and making them public. Also arrowheads, stone tools and other surface archaeology.

Crossed Pair rock piles
One time in Groton I climbed a hill behind someone's house and found three rock piles, each consisting of two elongated rocks on top of a boulder.One of the three had the upper rocks crossed and I concluded that the others might well have been that way also until they got damaged. Then I saw other examples of crossed pairs in other places.This last one suggests a reason for such things - crossed pairs are the simplest way to mark a point on the horizon.
