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.

Shit! There are houses all all along what was the trail. Sigh. Well there is another wetland just to the north.
The bing bird's eye shows lots of stone and some massive rows of stone as well. I wonder if dc can do some magical google earth grabbing with this...
An interesting fact visible in the aerial photos north of there is that every single stone wall runs west-east (or slightly west-north-west to east-south-east). Narry a one goes north-south.
I wonder what the "experts" on stone walls would say about that?
That high ridge that runs from Lake Watrous down to Lake Dawson, Lake Wintergreen and Konold's Pond has many stone rows running down it, on both sides. dc.
Curtis Hoffman comments:
Peter – All but the southern 2 of these sites appear to be in Bethany, not Woodbridge. Can you tell me what is at each site? I tried searching on GoogleEarth but the only thing that I could see was a scatter of rocks on the western side of the area.
Also- to Anonymous – I presume you mean West Rock ridge? Can you specify where along this the stone rows are located, either on a map (like the one Peter posted) or with GPS coordinates?
Best regards,
Curt
Now to answer the question: those are not sites, I apologize for creating that impression. They are places I proposed to explore. It then turned out most of it has houses on it today.
I will go correct the post.
