I didn't get out hiking last weekend, so here are some additional photos from two weeks ago. First, some pictures of the same mountaintop from this post.
First, this stacking (or maybe it's a wedge)...
...which reminds me of a couple of rock structures at this site which look similar to the first picture. The wedge near the creek, just downhill on on the opposite (west) side of the mountain:
Then this, which is also around the "ring" of the mountaintop, a little further to the south than the first picture. I captioned it "a single rock pile" in the last post, but now I'm wondering about the intent of that middle stone:
Also on the mountaintop, near the ridge, this single rock covering a crack in a boulder. In this first picture, I reduced the shadow to enhance the picture:
The opposite side from the photo above:
The dog seems to add something to that photo.
And this is a distant view, with a rock pile in the foreground. There were a few rock piles near there and some made it hard to distinguish between the crude stone row or single (or stretched out) rock pile:
Then, back down to the creek area, I found another rock pile not far from a short stone row:
Here are some standing stones from two weeks ago. Two in the area of the runoff, the first one I wondered about because I thought it is in a runoff area, based on the rocks all around.
If you click on this photo to enlarge it, it gives a better view of how the long axis of this standing stone is parallel to something like a runoff area.
The second appeared a bit more deliberate. It seems to have a shoulder to the right in this photo, which is a little blurry (half meter stick is in the photo):
Then this distant view which shows the stone's location at this site. It is right in the shadow of a tree. There is a swamp behind me in this picture. The swamp is a straight walk north about a quarter of a mile or so.
Then this last standing stone is at a different site, but it is not far from the prior pictures. I would say the two sites are about a half mile apart (maybe less) and they are separated by a seasonal dirt road.
