I found nicely built "cairns" twice. Once at the headwaters of the wetland, where the brook comes out of the hill. I dismissed these since they were present only along a short stretch of the old road and seemed much too integrated with the road. But then I saw others, again along side of the road [at the cross-hair in the above map fragment], and thought they were too nicely built to ignore. But I was pretty unsure of their nature. They were kind of recent, and exactly along the road in a most suspicious way. Luckily as amateurs we do not have to make a final decision. Someone should go have a look when they are in the neighborhood. Here are some pictures:[This next one was more rectangular than the others.]Another:
Maybe ~8 piles in all.
Reasons why these piles might be ceremonial:
- nicely built
- of a familiar "beehive" shape
- constructed together as part of a single 'expression'
- one pile was on the other side of the road, and seemed to have been cut in half by the road:

possibly "old road" may have followed an old indian trail? hense the piles position.
