A site in Hopkinton State Park

A site found by Nick Holland (with some nice piles having a vertical face):" South facing, lots of outcrops, slope unsuited to
agriculture, unlikely to have been pasture. Some piles
are only small stones, too small to have been moved
for pasture."Here is the site layout

These piles and wall very much remind me of Rockville, RI -- not in site plan per se because I've never even rough-mapped Rockville, but the styles of piles and their juxtaposition with other features such as the erratic and the wall, and the position on a hillside.

I wonder if there are any springs coming out of the ground nearby, or seasonal brooks or waterfalls?
