First off, next to Ashby West Rd, as you step into the bushes on the west side of the road, this is a messy pile I have photoed several times before. I liked the colors this time:


Here is a closeup of the vertical sided pile.
There were numerous other satellites:
I like this clear relation between mound and satellite. Note the direction of the vertical side, note how the hollows are placed in the larger mound:
Finally, just a brief look at some piles from the previously discovered site (uppermost blue oval on map). Here is one where you probably neither can see the rectangle, not the hollow. It is pretty worn down.
I just want to compare it with this other one from there. It is another example of a pile built only from larger rocks.
Summary: Standard Wachusett Tradition site includes mounds with hollows surrounded by smaller satellites that have some of the attributes of marker piles. [By the way, I think it is a complex machine for getting the soul to the underworld]. Sometimes, one of the mounds will be made only from larger rocks.
