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.

Based on the marking on the map, and from what I've seen time and again in Rhode Island, there should be an area there with a post-contact period burial ground. Likely low rough unmarked field stones. That would be the burial ground marked on the map.
What is typical of sites in Rhode Island is to find cairns, standing stones, and quartz features in a wider area around or nearby the post-contact burial ground.
Exactly which features came first, or how they are related, is a mystery to me.
Incidentally, there is another Indian cemetery (and house) listed in the upper left corner of that map.
