Wanted to get into the woods off Prestwick Dr. hoping to head south but my way was blocked by houses and I ended up exploring on the other side of the road in a small patch of woods.Hopkinton is in the category of towns which "never disappoints" and, a few feet into the woods there was a fine example of a single layer of stones on a boulder:
Norman would want me to point out the possible standing stone at the near end of the boulder. There were a few other inconspicuous piles down to the edge of the wetland:There must have been quite an Indian presence in this town, because virtually every patch of undisturbed woods has rock piles in it.
Then I went to explore a bit of the State Park north on Rt 85 and I cannot remember if this is from the later walk or the earlier one, a very nice split-wedged rock:

Hmm. A different slant on things. It would appear that the person who drilled the boulder placed the wedge, rather than this being a colonial period manifestation of an Indian practice.
