Does anyone know how to find well-formed rock piles - "cairn sites" in West Virginia?
Update: Norman Muller sent these photos taken by the state archaeologist of West Virginia. Apparently there are other sites nearby.There certainly seems to be something geometric going on.

I know of one site, and I have a friend who knows of more.
How does it compare with sites in New England?
Very much like what we find in New England, with examples like large cone-shaped cairns, a platform cairn, walls or terraces, etc. I'll forward some photos.
Thanks. Are the archeologist down there convinced they are colonial farm constructions?
The state archaeologist I know is pretty much convinced that the stone features are American Indian. Most archaeologists in the mid-South don't have the hangup that those in New England do.
[writing later] We are just so unbelievably lucky to still find these structures - they have survived miraculously.
[much later] f'in ostentatious
