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.

Is that a possible manitou stone on the left side of the cairn, less than half way up?
ReplyDeleteIt looks like the cairn has been added to over time.
Yup. I see that. I also see that it is at a spring.
ReplyDeleteThis might be that stone mason whose name I can't recall - he was taking stuff apart and building very tall stacks on existing stacks. I recall a vicious Face Book Blood Sport Style altercation he started once a few years back...
ReplyDeleteThe person sending this photo added that there is a second "shelf" on the right side of the pile. It is possible the manitou stone was moved from one shelf to the other. Since we are speculating, this pile might be a directional signpost.
