Panther Orchard Farm abuts the Miner Farm in Hopkinton, RI and I had the privilege of spending two days there exploring recently. The following is the first of several finds on that property.
We struggled through the briars and undergrowth and really weren't finding much. Then I spotted it near a brook that flows from the Miner Farm -- a small boulder cairn with possibly some of the same triangle symbolism found among the springs on Bob Miner's property.

That first one's "triangle symbolism" looks, to me, like the head of a bird effigy.
You could very well be right Peter.
Triangle symbolism is found throughout the site covering what is now Miner Farm & Panther Orchard Farm. It used in wide variety of contextes and structures. A solid has been put forward in the book `America's Stonehenge Deciphered' that triangular symbolism was used for protection of ceremonial structures by excluding uninvited or disruptive spirits. Our preliminary survey of this site suggests a similar function for the triangular symbolism.
