This stone row is near the top a slope leading down to Hell Hollow. The row is only about 75 feet long and runs North/South.

On the side of the slop and in the hollow, there are more short stone rows and numerous rock piles.

Below is a rock pile in front of a boulder.The dark area on the boulder is embedded quartz. It looked like most of the quartz has been removed. You can see the above row in the background.

This split boulder is in the hollow.

Another short stone row and a couple of rock on rocks. The top rock of the one in the center is propped.

Below is a close up of the small cairn showing how the top rock is being supported .

Another short stone row  near the bottom of the slop. The boulder is part of the row.This one is 100 feet long and also runs North/South

 Some of the rock piles at the site.

Looks like the head of a snake coming out of this split boulder.

Here's another North/South stone row. This one is only 25 feet long. This seems to mark the end of the site.

The Miner's Farm is rich in native stone work. Some examples of whats on the farm would include a nice platform cairn, a turtle cairn, small chambers and numerous rock piles and effigies. Some pictures can be found HERE.

Bob's newest discovery is a serpent effigy found just a few feet beyond his farm's property line. The serpent is about 100 feet long. The head is propped up over a small spring feed stream. There is a row of three stones connecting the serpent's head with a split boulder. This construction is difficult to photograph, but I think Bob's pictures capture it clearly.

Below is the serpent with the head in the foreground traveling towards the west. The rocks to the left with the meter stick, link to a split boulder.

The next two pictures are of the head.

"Don't it always seem to go".....

Here's some small, well built cairns, that have stood the test of time for God knows how many years.

These are the survivors.

"you don't know what you got till it's gone" ...

And here are some of the casualties.

There's no way of knowing how many ....

A neighboring property owner told me that this is going to be a horse farm..... 

Nobody seems to be aware of any permits being pulled......

 Yes, the local tribe has been notified.....

This new "horse farm" stops a tenth of a mile from the Canonchet chambers.

The Hopkinton Land Trust was in negotiations to purchase the property around the chambers, but I've heard they are having a hard time making a deal.

Hopefully the chambers and surrounding stone work will be left untouched.

While using Bing Maps to look at a previously unexplored area of Canonchet, I spotted this wall. I knew I had to go and check it out.

Click on the image below.  The wall is centered in the image.

 The wall is about 100 feet long.

The videos at the bottom of this post shows the wall better then these stills.

Fifty feet north there's a propped boulder and lots of cairns.

The number of rockpiles and cairns in the area is typical of Canonchet.

 There's a pond a quarter of a mile south east of the wall. To get to the pond I had to force my way through some thick mountain laurel finding more rock piles  scattered through out the laurel and in small clearings.

Finally, I broke out of the laurel and descended down a slop to the pond finding more cairns.

Below is a cairn built against a boulder.

Below is a close up.  The center is hollow to about 15 inches deep.

Below is a video of the wall.
