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.

Petroforms? Perhaps, but I'd like to see them less oovered with pine needles. The bottom one looks more convincing than the first, since the large boulder looks reptilian.
Funny you should ask that.
I'm inclined to say, "Yes."
I should have said: "here are short walls ending in large rocks which could be deliberate effigies."
I am more convinced of the first one, a very short wall and large rock, isolated in the middle of a sapling forest. Versus the second one which is part of a more complex structure behind it. Tim's example in the next post is a pretty good one but where does the rest of that wall go?
"That wall don't go nowhere; I'll bet it's been there hundreds, maybe thousands of years," is the Andy Griffith Joke version. The rows of stones connect to other rows of stones up on the terraces above Cranberry Pond and the huge Cranberry bog that surrounds that. I'll email you a map and all...
That second photo: the boulder has two grooves in the top, much like this one:

Maybe for some antlers (horns)?
