  1. This is a marker pile site that has seen a lot of use and it will take a while for them to figure out. The site is called "unique" but it is probably the most common type of site in Massachusetts.

  2. If I am not mistaken, Steve DiMarzo had thoroughly documented over 1300 structures at this site, and continues to do so. The Gages have published a book on the site, "Land of 1,000 Cairns". There are more than "marker piles" there!

  3. Yes you are right. But I do see marker piles in there and suspect it is a composite of many separate sites.

  4. Steve has taken GPS readings on each structure. There are indeed several separate sites there, at least as I define sites (structures more than 100 meters apart would be in a separate site).
