Cairn #3 [ http://rockpiles.blogspot.com/2012/04/cairns-from-maine.html ]has a feature that I've seen before, a repeated pattern, a cultural motif, and, more than just randomly piling stones and cobbles, a choice in how to stack stones in an artistic manner. I have seen it around here, down in Woodbridge and I think in more than one or two posts here on this blog...
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.

I visited this cairn in Maine about two years ago. With that little colored button, what are you trying to point out? I don't see a turtle there.

I am with Norman on that one.
