Rock pile sites within wet break-out zones, springs, and on brooksides

The site highlighted in the previous two posts has a lot in common with other sites located in almost direct contact with flowing water. Here are some other examples posted previously on this blog. Compare them.

Also discussed in "Glaciers don't make rock piles" [Click here]

Note the enclosures shown in "The Lessons of the Day 2" [Click here]

Some of the common characteristics are

• proximity to flowing water
  
• numerous clusters of rock-on-rock
• effigy-like piles: with head stones and/or symmetries
  
• short rows of cobbles connecting features
  
• seats/viewing stations (?)

In Journals there are a number of other examples of this kind of site. There is one in Wolf Swamp Boxborough, there is another within a site found by Bruce M. So I propose to recognize this as one somewhat standard type of rock piles site. Tentatively called a "Brookside Site".
