A snaking arrangement of rocks. Man-made or Natural?

This is from Northborough, in the Cooledge Brook area:
A side view:It seems a little "too good to be true" to be natural.

Anyway to know if those are boulders or extruding bedrock?

Good question, the problem is that (I believe) the bedrock was broken up and moved around.

I see a stone row on the one side of the large outcrop. Out of curiousity, does the path of the row in any way mimic this boulder path?

In my opinion, the obvious man-made stone piling or wall in the background suggests strongly that other features there may have been, at the very least, manipulated by man.

I had the same thought as Jim. I am not sure about the wall mimicing the zig-zag. As I look at the picture myself, I wish I had looked around more carefully - I think I see a rock pile-like structure this side of the large boulder.
