The largest site I know of near here was found by Bruce McAleer in Harvard, MA. Whenever I explore woods adjactent to this major site I discover new clusters of rock piles. Yesterday I went out to explore one fringe area like this and I kept finding things as I explored until I got back to parts of the site I had already visited. So anyway here is an interesting feature I had not seen before:
Two elongated rock piles, lying side by side. Here is a view from one end:
Look closely and you see a little white spot on the right hand side, a a few feet back from the end of the pile. Here is a detail:
If we look at the far end of the other pile we see something similar:
Again there is a white spot. Here is detail:Very symmetric.

These very much remind me of the elongated pile from Panther Orchard Farm:

The "major site" is between Codman Rd and Murray Ln - we called it "Codman Hill" and it is now Harvard Cons. land (2017)
First, this is the site in Harvard at the end of Murray Lane. It is public cons. land today. Second, these piles are quite like the ones, mis-identified as continuous "wall" in the Fort Devens map survey of Shirley, re the land south of Holden Rd.
