I found a 26' x 26' x 5 foot high pile next to a small stream in the Spencer State Forest, across from 5 Hebert Road in Spencer,MA. The pile is hollowed out in the middle on the eastern side.

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.

For me there is not much doubt left that there was an inland culture that built large rectangular piles with hollows. I suspect these are burial mounds and the hollow marks the location of a crypt, but I have no direct evidence for this belief.
In any case, this find from Spencer MA fits the pattern of the types of piles with hollows I have been finding around Fitchburg.
