That's not a stone wall

This elongated group of stones is not a stone wall. It runs for about 30 feet - rising out of the ground as a dirt ridge on the left, changing to exposed rocks for a while and ending with a gap and a separate rock pile on the right. From left to right it seems to zig-zag. Off to the far right behind the trees is a large pile shaped a bit like a turtle - with a high domed back and a large "head" rock on one end. Here are some pictures of the "turtle pile".

These are along Heath Hen Meadow Brook in Stow and I found them a few weeks ago. It is a small well contained site, a good candidate for study with only about 5 rock piles, a couple of rock-on-rocks, a stone wall anomaly, and these two large effigy like piles.

Actually the field is on the other side of the brook.
