A rock pile found in an imminently threatened site for clearcutting

Dear Contributors,

I am writing after having discovered with a couple of friends a rock pile that is in a site that is imminently slated for clear cutting, in Lincoln, MA.  I attach a photo and would very much like to share more with you, if it can help pause the planned clearcut, at least to make a site assessment of significance, on land that I understand includes or is directly adjacent to lands of the Agawam, Massachusett, Nipmuc and Pawtucket.

The mound is not near any stone wall and is clearly of intention. It doesn’t look like a recent fire pit, even years old, as it is a mound not a pit.

I can show and visit the site with you at your convenience or give you detailed directions on how to access the site using a public right of way.  I put the coordinates from Google maps below. The site itself is on land legally owned by the City of Cambridge with a Town of Lincoln conservation easement allowing public access to and in the site. So there is no legal trespassing involved.

Location (within ~ 50 feet):
