The woods in northern Upton, just south of the Mass Pike, have frequent examples of short walls that start and stop within 60 feet or 300 feet. FFC and I were wondering about how, maybe, they were meant to be seen from a distance. We also were wondering about shadows formed by the walls. But, in any case, sharp eyed FFC noticed some hollows at the ends of one of these short stretches of wall:
Here is a closeup of the end of the wall to the right in the above picture (sorry about the blur):
This reminds one of the current hypotheses about hollows: they are either as a place to sit, a remnant of a collapsed space, or where someone dug a hole.
In the example above, FFC thought there were hollows at either end of the wall. I want to mention this as part of the context of the general discussion about hollows in rock piles.

I have been following what you guys have been saying about hollows. Down here in Pennsylvania, we too have examples of hollows in rockpiles and walls too.
I have been reading your reports with interest.
