"By Sheet and Steep and up the wooded scree..." Alun Lewis

I used to think this was a field clearing pile dumped there by the original settlers when clearing the small pasture below. After discovering the Rock Piles blog I'm now inclined to believe it's something more.
Pictures From A Secret Place In The Blue Ridge Mountains
After noticing the many strange rock formations around my mountain farm I soon came to the conclusion that they were man made. Searching the internet I was surprised and intrigued by a number of blogs devoted to the study of similar stone structures which apparently are quite prevalent in the woods of New England. At first I was skeptical but the more I read and the more I look at what we have here I'm becoming convinced that the area around our farm was a very special place to some ancient peoples.
I'll say it is "something more". That big pile is very substantial. Also, I think, very damaged.
