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.

Bolton Conservation Land Odds and Ends 1
I saw lots of small "cameo" scenes this weekend - interesting and nice features but no big new sites. To get started: here is a "stone wall" comprised of two pieces, neither more than 30 feet long. It was out in a flat area between hills. A little ways down the trail roughly to the left, where the wall is pointing there was a sort of standing stone and an oval mound surrounded by a ditch. We have seen things like this before at the Acton Boyscout Land. I don't know what they could be if not burials. Here are two views, sorry it is so hard to get a decent picture of a mound in the sunlight. Here is one in the snow from Acton [Click here]
