 [From reader James O.]

A few weeks ago I bushwhacked some distance to a relatively inaccessible ridgeline in Harvard along 495. I felt pretty happy with my site-selection once I reached the top of the hill, where I found some very distinct rock piles. 

Farther down the ridge, I found what looks like a small stone chamber built against the protruding bedrock. Not big enough to enter, but if you stick your head in you are greeted with a sky-light.

Far out!! I’ve slinked in to some of the woods touching 495 and am usually glad that I did. Some really neat, undisturbed piles, walls, rock on rocks etc….
I’ve seen a few examples of this from spots in CT, mostly. And they always seem to be built into a ledge or outcrop, and similar in dimensions. Not large enough for a human, so it makes me think of an offering niche, perhaps. Some say they are ‘dry storage’.
