...I believe that the head on the 'turtle' is aligned to true north and that there are standing stones at 30 degree intervals around the turtle mound....

This is a one-of-a-kind structure. I have no reason to think it is Native American.
It's near a hospital or something, right?

"...Leander Haskins Hospital. When the hospital closed, the buildings were demolished. The largest "mound" of granite rocks is about 7 feet tall. I have asked many longtime and life long residents. I have asked at the historic society. Some folks didn't even know these existed. Any ideas?"
In the comments: "This is a giant turtle out of stones. According to the "keepers" of the site, it is very very old - pre-dates American Indians."
"Per the recorded history of the site, the stone mounds did not exist until Leander Haskins built his home on the hill in the mid 1890s. Locals like to 'speculate' and some very tall tales exist. The property is maintained by the town."

I like that "pre-dates American Indians". What then, dinosaurs?
Perhaps ankylosaurs!
It does look like an ankylosaur.
Is it built on Bedrock? Is it Bedrock Village Site? Posiible it's either the Rubble or Flintstone Habitation Site...
