A couple of views from the downhill side, showing the careful construction.
Further down that slope is a sort of a split pile. This second pile is built close to the edge of a large boulder.
That rock on the ground in front of the boulder has a presumably natural depression that could perhaps have been used as a mortar.
Near the bottom of that slope, a low pile, looking smeared out.
Elsewhere in the same woods, a group of three stones and a rock-on-rock flank two sides of a shallow depression in the earth.

Looks like a manitoui stone in front of the lower pile in image 4.
You pointed out a "group of three stones and a rock-on-rock flank two sides of a shallow depression."
It is interesting, because I was thinking these depression represented compactification from being walked on. But in your picture: might someone have sat there?
On second thought, maybe water flows through there? I should look closer at some of my own pics.
The depression was rather clearly defined and had a distinct shape. I don't think it could have been formed by people walking on the spot, I would expect the outline to be more amorphous in such a case. It looks like soil was removed here, at some point.
