There was a hint of an old road coming down to this spot. Following it back uphill leads to the "Berlin Rd" and an old house foundation. Was this stone work done by the same hands as some of the rock piles downstream? Here is another. It is next to a driveway in Carlisle, near Fielding Farm Rd.

I was reading a book recently about the history of Connecticut, and one passage in it referred to an ancient Indian well that was different from colonial examples in that the stones comprising it were shaped to the curve of the walls.

What does "shaped to the curve of the walls" mean?

The Rhinebeck site includes a stone lined spring-- not in the pictures but quite striking.
