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.

A platform pile by a brook at that "roadside site in Sterling"
Almost not worth reporting but somehow, to me, these rectangular piles at the edge of water are a kind of "big game". I associate them with the kinds of piles I see high on the Mannoosnucs but there is no evidence of it (although they are within easy walking distance). Anyway this was not exactly rectangular but more a lopsided diamond with one corned pointing toward the wet. Here is another view - it is buried in the ferns. And here it is from a short ways downhill. You can see there are other damaged structures in the foreground.
