College Rock In Snow Pt 4- Propped Boulder In Stone Wall


College Rock In Snow Pt 4- Propped Boulder In Stone Wall

Propped boulder placement in a stone-wall next to a running brook.  Also, there is what appears to be a stone ledge worked-out and placed at the foot of the brook.  I have seen this in several places down the street from this site- a stone ledge at the foot of a pond/ pool/ brook.  I will have to make a post sometime comparing the "stone ledges" of these 3 sites I have in mind to make my case for this kind of a stone placement.  Perhaps a swimming/ bathing spot or of other ceremonial significance-


Showing off how the wall runs into the boulder-


Close-up of the foot of the boulder, showcasing how this stone is visibally propped up in at least 2 places here-



Looks like a subtle effigy of some sort, like the profile of a bird.  Probably has a sunset alignment by the "beak"-

  1. Note- In pic 1, the stone ledge looks like it could have been split from the boulder and placed at the foot of the brook. You can see clearly how there was stone split from the boulder in picture number 5.
