Here are some pictures from the first of these small sites. There was an outcrop next to a wet spot. At the top of the outcrop I saw this.
From there I could see down into the wet spot, which was loosely filled with mountain laurel, and I could see what looked like an old pile in there:
Note the vertical piece of brown rock.And as I looked around I saw a few others:

Here is a view of the spot.
It is my impression that the flat plat of rock in the first photo was lined up more or less with the direction, to the right in the picture, towards which the water is flowing - which would be something like west or southwest.
I walked right through the state forest from one side to the other before I came to this place. It was in back of a farm, and there were what looked like some pretty "agrarian" structures very close by. Still I cannot give up on the idea that this is a ceremonial site. With the cluster of piles, within the laurel, and with the rock piles built from so few rocks, they seem to coexist with the farm.
