Best pile yet in 2017

    Intentionally or not, this gives the distinct impression of the large boulder carrying/harboring the smaller pile, not something that has occurred to me before. A beauty. Do you have any pictures from other sides?

  3. Nice. Makes me wonder, why anyone would go to the trouble to pile stones on top of the boulder? They could've easily been piled next to the stone, so there is an important reason for doing it. Maybe, someone(s) is trying to establish a relationship between the bedrock boulder, and the smaller stones that were bedrock themselves at one time. The stones and the boulder are now the same? They share power? Value? Potency? We are obviously being shown something.

  4. This pile is adjacent to three larger "mounds with hollows". My current belief is that piles like this cast a shadow - over the mounds and other, smaller, nearby piles. This was, I believe, a calendrical ritual connected to the larger mounds.
