Coming into the Bear Sweatlodge area from a different spot than usual, I saw a little stonework near the spring (the "break out zone, I was thinking - and possibly said out loud) that wasn't yet on my cognitive map of the area...
Just one stone on a boulder - or is it just the last one left?
Quartz started catching my eye...
I'm unsure if this is ancient - maybe a cover at one time for (a potion of) the spring?
I think this is another mound?row?both? I may have missed previously - stone heap in the distance...
The mound was calling, since the light was just right...
I wonder how old this tree to the right of this heap might be
I burned some tobacco and removed some branches here a week ago or more and the rain washed away some debris...
I managed to get three stone heaps in this one: 
That dark spot just to the right of the upper center of the photo is the Bear Sweatlodge, stone rows by the spring in the lower part - the kind that seem both stone row like or elongated stone heaps or both:

That's quite a hunk of quartz. A lot of boulders look exactly like that all around the Miner Farm. There is much evidence there of quarrying and generations have plowed up countless quartz projectile points.
ReplyDeleteThere were actually three large quartz boulders sort of lined up (that I saw on that day) in that sea of ferns. I've got a partial point, the only one I've ever found in CT, that I just looked down on the pathway and saw at the other end of the two ridges where these "caves" are...
