Franklin Town Forest

There is a marked entrance on Summer Str. I wanted to get over to that "Uncas" pond but was blocked by a private camp entrance. So I went in on Summer Str.

Going straight back and downhill to the east, you see rock piles immediately:

After looking at a few, I decided they were evenly spaced, what I call a "marker pile site" and, although old, retained a faint sense of having once been rectangular:

I have come to associate marker pile sites with chambered mounds ("large piles with hollows") so I was on the lookout around the edges but I did not see anything.
In one part the piles seemed more debris covered and broken down - which I think of as an indication of age but it could be differential "weathering":

So I walked around and down hill and found more piles, deeper and deeper in the bushes, on the way down the slope.

Going back uphill and a bit further north, things got a big bigger and messier:

Then I did see something big in the distance:

That is a pretty large pile of rocks and I wanted to think it was a "mound" and not just a discard pile at the bottom of a field. Looking it over...what have we here?

With or without the tire, here are two collapsed chambers - the "hollows" I was hoping to see. So I end up believing this is a substantial burial mound. Here are some other views:

After that I walked around more, went back to my car and snuck into the woods near the camp entrance. I found a few more piles over there doing a quick survey. The whole area is probably full of sites.
