Boxborough Hilltop Rock Pile Site

Took a walk with my wife and re-visited an old friend - a site on top of a hill in Boxborough MA. One of the more interesting features, is the pile visible on the left to the rear above.
Pretty clearly a deliberate gap.

One special thing about this hilltop is the scattering of large boulders.

  2. What goes through the gap?

  3. "Everything" goes through it I guess. Wasn't there a comment about the viewing point/site/place?
    I was thinking about "That Turtle on the Mound Again" and how it's strikingly a turtle from a certain angle, but not so from others. And about how a stone, of any size - from hold in your hand size to boulder to outcrop to mountain - can look like several things from several different angles...

  4. Also: I often take great comfort in the Lenni Lenape wisdom that a person only becomes a wise person when he or she realizes there are more things they won't ever know than things they ever will know...
