Larry Harrop sometimes takes video clips of interesting things he sees, and the one below is of a "wall" in a wildlife management area in Westerly, RI. Those who claim that all walls in New England were built by colonial farmers should have a look at this and then try to explain it, particularly trying to move the huge boulders in place, and sometimes on top of small rocks! From what I can tell, this so-called wall is in an isolated area of the park. This construction bears close study.

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.

amazing! it must have taken tremendous man power to make this wall. what leverage system did they use to build this wall? we see this propped boulder feature a lot in small piles but to make a very long wall? We all would love to know the meaning here. My gut feeling is maybe it is some kind of tribal storytelling stonework? It has that "look" to it, that it is trying to tell something.
