Are these Native American? From a 4000 acre n.e. Kentucky Farm

Reader Jason W. writes:
There are about 15 or so rock piles fairly close to each other, the stone wall is the only wall ,it is about 2 foot high,3 or so feet wide,and at least 75 feet long. it is in a desolate area located on top a steep mountain ,where it flattens out....the location of my finds is approximately 8 miles from the ky serpent mound.
The piles are all on one side of this wall, and are within feet of each other, its about a 2 hour walk to the site,but will try to get more pics. my other pics didn't take, but i remember the rock wall definitely having an s shape to it. the guy i was with was certain it was native american,but u are the experts not us. i wish to know this so to preserve it, that is my only intentions.

Found at the bottom of the hill:

My comment is that this sounds particularly Native American. The number of rock piles, and the wall which is unique in this place. These put the site in the category with some of the other recent mountain- top sites from the south east. Like the Indian Mountain complex or the Track Rock Gap. Looking forward to seeing more pictures.

I should add that these elements of pile and wall seem to be a common theme.

It’s a ceremonial site. Don’t disturb the rocks. I’ve seen several of these and they are scattered all over eastern North America. From Canada all the way down to Georgia. if you want to know more, there are people out there who understand these structures, but they are sacred, so please don’t disturb them and also it would be wise to keep this location on the down low. By the way, if you look for artifacts, you probably won’t find any. Don’t bother going to conventional archaeologists they will only tell you they were left there by farmers. That’s what they always say. They are not correct.

That is correct. A lot of research has been done by quite a few people on these structures, and I can tell you that there are solar and lunar alignments with a number of them, especially on equinox, winter, solstice, and summer solstice. These were important dates. The walls tend to align with constellations or the path of the sun on certain important days. The Karen’s, I can’t go into it very deeply, but I can tell you that they are memorials or monuments left in the landscape for different reasons. I am aware of what some of them mean, but not all of them. They are sacred. Especially the ones That are shaped a specific way, and the small stones stacked upon the large stones. So don’t disturb them. These places were planned and constructed for ceremonial purposes. They represent balance, harmony, equilibrium. That’s all I can tell you. Enjoy them, but always be respectful. It would also go along way. If whenever you visit them, you don’t disturb any of the stones and you leave something behind as a kind of peace offering. Sometimes these places have burials, but not always. If you look up the work of Mary Gage, her son, Lee Pennington, Glenn Kreisberg, and others that will tell you something. You will find these stone structures all over America And even though different tribes or nations built them… They are a type of sacred language that all the tribes understand. Just like the marker trees.
