About 1/4 mile from the last site I reported from Weston, MA. I believe that rock piles rarely occur when the landscape is flat and unchanging. If there is a bump, a drop, or some kind of change in the topography then rock piles may occur.

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.

I think your observation on topography is a significant one. I also think it's important to note that topography may only be the remaining framework for these sites that we can identify today. Topography would've played a role in what kind of trees once grew there and what kinds of views the site afforded in the distant past and what kinds of alignments with the sky were once possible. So the topography might only be circumstantial.
