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.

These mounds look old to me. They also look like vandalized graves (to me). One quite interesting thing is the smaller cairns built on top of the mounds - presumably more recent additions. The narrator calls the "devotional" which seems apt.
That site's a real beauty.
To me, the cairns are old and are similar to the ones I saw in Woodstock, NY, earlier this year.

It does seem quite similar to both Mt.Pisgah and Queen's Fort-- and yes, the serpentine wall and clusters of cairns with cobbles of quartzite seems very similar to the Woodstock cairns. Many of these are situated on boulders. Next summer I would be interested in swapping cairn tours.
Please check out the slide show link at ASHnews.org for the Woodstock, NY cairn site.
