In the foreground on this photo, there is a very large, very old tree trunk, right at the start of the double walled section. Looking around, I could not find the tree that it came from. I had to double take to make sure it was not stone there, but, in fact, a tree. It seemed to fit nicely with the wall in its somewhat deteriorated state.
This shot shows the corner of the wall, with the double walled section visible just to the right, behind the corner:
...and near the thick section, just upstream, is this:

A peculiar thing about that large conglomerate with quartz in it is that it had a very smooth texture to it in one spot, but was rough elsewhere. Maybe it had something to do with the frozen moss, but it still seemed odd that there was no moss and the rock was very smooth in one spot. If you click on this photo to enlarge it, you might be able to see the smooth area. The palm of my hand fit nicely, right at that smooth spot:
I only rested my palm on the stone, and it felt like a thousand palms had touched it before mine.
Here is a panorama of the wall:
