Here are some rock piles from Maine. This is a very
interesting site with a variety of features. It is on private land and we have
the owner’s permission, in fact he got in touch with me. The first cairn we
noticed, #1 is a fairly typical oval cairn, in nice undisturbed condition.
Cairn #3 is not far away and is the biggest and most unusual that I have
ever seen. It is about 25’ in diameter, not quite round, with two sides slightly
flattened that may align to cairn # 2 that is partially destroyed, no good
photo.
The big cairn is unique with the well built wall of big rocks is about 5’
high and filled with smaller rocks. There are a number of other cairns and walls
that may have marked old boundaries.
The land is fairly level and has been logged at various times over the
years but shows no evidence of agricultural use or buildings of any size.We have
surveyed the area which is not very large and I have done deed research
with some professional help, but even with an 1809 map, we have no clue as to
any possible purpose.

Why is someone walking on a cairn?
Don't you think that's a bit irresponsible?
It is a bit disrespectful. But this pile looks pretty solid, so it may be harmless as far as that goes.
