Rock pile sites within wet break-out zones, springs, and on brooksides
The site highlighted in the previous two posts has a lot in common with other sites located in almost direct contact with flowing water. Here are some other examples posted previously on this blog. Compare them. "Brook Confluence in Bolton" [Click here]"Brookside Piles" [Click here]"Brookside Site" [Click here]Also discussed in "Glaciers don't make rock piles" [Click here]Note the enclosures shown in "The Lessons of the Day 2" [Click here]Some of the common characteristics are - proximity to flowing water
- numerous clusters of rock-on-rock
- effigy-like piles: with head stones and/or symmetries
- short rows of cobbles connecting features
- seats/viewing stations (?)
In Journals there are a number of other examples of this kind of site. There is one in Wolf Swamp Boxborough, there is another within a site found by Bruce M. So I propose to recognize this as one somewhat standard type of rock piles site. Tentatively called a "Brookside Site".
