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!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteIn 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.
