I finally found a way in Sunday and did some exploring. It's a very large and unusual site. All those lines on the map are indeed stone walls with more walls that didn't show up on the map. This is a large area of walls and rock piles. 90% of these walls don't seem to provide any agricultural purposes. There is also the remains of a colonial farm complete with a well, foundation and a small chamber and field walls.These walls are completely different from the ones at the wall sites.

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.

Wow to Jim and to Larry. An interesting find from the aerial photos and 12 pages of photos of rock piles, chambers, stone walls! Excellent job.
ReplyDeleteWe need a name for this place.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm, a name for this site? Good idea! This site lies on the property boundary between Rockville Management Area in Rhode Island and the Pachaug State Forest in Connecticut. How about Rockchaug? LOL!
