Someone should plot the locations of these stone features (cairns, etc.) to see where they lay with respect to the Hammonasset Line (what is the supposed width of the Line?), and then plot what kind of stonework is found to the left and right of it

It a sign of the seriousness for the hypothesis (or its lack) that no one does this simple test.

Once upon a time I sat in a room with a number of people invested in the idea of long scale alignments. I showed a detailed a map of known sites in the area and, had there been any long scale alignments they would have shown up in the data - there were none. Most of these people went right on believing in long scale alignments.

This is, to the best of my knowledge, to the south and west of the "line." There's a second paved segment of road also called buell hill road.

Norm, note Tim says "south of the line". My guess is that no map of off-line features has been done for fear it will show there are as many off-line sites as on-line ones.

I agree. The best way to show if the Hammonasset Line has any validity, is to map areas to the north and south of the line.
