It was hard to photo the whole structure. It was maybe a 40 feet long wall , with a 12 foot mound at one end (here the mound is one the left):
This is one of the biggest rock piles I have seen. When it gets big enough, let's call it a mound ("it's a beaut"):

Hmmm. Big. Might have had more structure once.
I was curious if there would be a hollow on top. Indeed there was a small compartment:

I suppose the wall led off in a particular direction which I should have noted. Here is one more view of where the pile connects with the wall:
There were a few traces of smaller piles in the area:
For the sake of the memory, let me mention that just before finding this mound, I interacted with a baby wren and had to reassure it I meant no harm.
That's an extraordinary stone pile. It would be interesting to see images of it and the wall later in the year when the leaves are gone from the trees and shrubs.
