My brother and I had another good [walk] in CT. We were on  Porter Pond Road in Moosup, CT. on the pond side. We covered about 1/2 of  that area on the pond side. We went in on the Porter Pond Rd. side and ended up  coming out on Great Swamp Rd. We found very few stone walls of any  size and even the ones we found we small ones less than 200 feet long and  usually much smaller. However, we only located a few of them at the onset right  off the road.
 
All we found today were cairns; one large one which  you can see in pic 001 as being 24 X 22 X 5( in some places), but the average  height was about 3 feet, I guess. 
Not sure what the circular depression in this  large stone pile means nor what that indentation that faces True North is all  about either. 
However, this began an area loaded with beautifully formed  cairns There had to be a minimum of 8-10 in the immediate area of this large  cairn and a maximum of 15-20 that were a little spread out mainly to the  East and South of this large one.
 This first email is of this large cairn only with 5  more emails of the other cairns to follow. Please forgive me for the number of  pics which I will send to you. I only send this many because it is important for  you to see all sides of any item that we may send to you so that you can get the  absolute picture of what is being shown to you, thereby allowing both you and  Mary to make the best possible judgment of what it is you are  viewing here!

Thank you for noticing and describing the circular depression. These are common for large mounds. I strongly believe that it is part of the pile's original design and probably represents a collapsed inner chamber.
