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.

What is this?
A well?Here is the site with the well to the right rear and a rock pile of some sort to the left front.
This looks a little like a spring source in Hallstead, PA, which consists of a lintel stone or two, with the spring emerging from underneath. Nearby are a number of large cairns, undoubtedly (to me, anyway) related to the spring.
There are lots of possibilities. I think Norman's guess is excellent. It could also be an old storage pit, an old cistern, or even possibly a disturbed stone-lined burial chamber.
Good find!
