There was one rock in the pit that did not look like it fell off the wall. I did not think too much of this until I turned to walk away, took a couple steps and saw another pit with a rock (left foreground):
I have read in detective stories that when you dig a hole and refill it, it compactifies over time, to leave a depression in the soil. These pits are very good candidates for actual burials.I continued my walk and was reminded that Groton was a place of recent quarrying. This may explain why it is hard to find ceremonial structures there. Here is some debris:
And at the foot of the slope, a cleat of some sort:
And then I got lucky and saw those orchises:
So, OK I am not disappointed with Groton's flowers.

Sun and shadows are stinkers for photography, aren't they!
I take it you mean you cannot see the pits with rocks in the first two pictures? Clicking and looking at the larger image helps a little.
In general, sun can be a real problem for recording stonework, as shadows often cause interference, particularly in a forest setting. Better is an overcast day.
