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.

Other stone structure - Stiles Hill Boylston, MA
I wrote about the site below the radio tower on the west slope of Stiles Hill. That site was somewhat in doubt as a ceremonial site. Later, around to the south and east I came across some piles and structures that seemed more legitimately "impractical".Especially this:But this also looks quite delicate and recent - the kind of thing that contributed to the confusion about the earlier site. I think it is reasonable to conclude that, pretty recently, someone was performing ceremonial acts here. Possibly they were taking advantage of an earlier site, possibly they were taking advantage of some earlier practical rock disposal. The evidence is in-substantial.
