Here is what it looks like from the top, overlooking the boulder/outcrop. This is a two shot panorama. The horizon has a dip in it, similar to the standing stone in the last post:
Just to clarify, I am very familiar with this area and where this dip in the horizon is located. So, although the photos may not show it well, I have personal knowledge of the location and appearance.After that low stone row, I went up to the summit. I was surprised to find a smeared out rock pile right at the summit.
Then, descending further to the north, but going back down the western side of the mountain, there is this rock pile just a bit below the summit (summit is visible in the background). Half meter stick is near the pile for scale:
Further down, below another ridge of outcrop, was this pile with a "hollow":
So that is all I have for this post. There is one more structure in this area and I'll post about it another time. It's a stone U that is further down the mountain, closer to some agrarian looking stone walls that end mysteriously and don't enclose anything. But, for now, I'll leave you with a nice shot overlooking one of the stone rows that follows the outcrop ridge, looking down to the next level:

Did the rock pile with a hollow have an outline shape (like rectangular, oval, circular)?
Some nice photos, and some great finds. It is too bad it is not easier to create a map.
The rock pile with the hollow appeared to be circular, but I should get back out there with less snow, to see if there are some rocks around the outlier that I am missing.
Thanks! I would have to go back out to get more details before I'd consider a map. There are features all along the north-south range (such as this site, which is nearby, but closer to the summit just north of this one). I'd have to make several adjoining maps, or else I wouldn't know where to stop and start.
