Nice use of LiDar! Well done!

You got a shovel?

It’s called a hedgerow, sometimes settlers in the past pick up rocks to make farming land to grow food. All the rocks were made into fencing to keep the cows in. I don’t think they would have messed with the big rocks though.

Hey where is this

❤

Some sort of livestock pen using the natural bedrock barriers.

wow!! super interesting find. the niche and the markings. awesome share.

Even Broadway (broad way) in Manhattan was originally a native road. The plagues and diseases spread through the natives so fast and with such a horrific death rate, because they had no antibodies or immunity against the diseases that were carried by the Europeans. The death rate was much higher than can ever be calculated.

First European settlers used mainly tree stumps and wood fences as borders. The first settlers only built stone walls after erosion in their fields from agriculture and deforestation started producing rocky soil from glacial rubble. That began in the early 1800s. Settlers likely used some of the stone walls of indigenous peoples that already existed as well.

What is that app you have for the sunlines?

I was a young lad when I lived in western Mass back in the 70's. We would find rock walls everywhere. We did not realize the antiquity of the walls or their significance.

Under-rated channel. Any info on wv?

The Plumed Serpent.

Keep up the good work!

A very interesting location. Thanks for sharing this video.

Those look like fortifications from the french and Indian war. Common tactic was to ambush on a road and fall back into wetlands so brits would be forced out of formation and off the horses. Green Mountain Boys did the same thing in the revolution, maybe check your location against known battles?

Love this, do you ever come to northern vermont? Would like to explore with you. I have few areas of interest with acess.

I wonder if the water flowed beneath the row of stones, hidden from view. like one I saw yesterday inCT...

Fort Dunmer?

Awesome

this is really cool, it has so much archeological merit.

May i ask,, what State?

Wow... never seen carvings in stone like that before

You are lucky to have those features in your area. Thanks for your efforts.

That's awesome. And Thank's for the hike, I'm exhausted.

Fantastic!! Thank you!

It certainly wouldn't hurt to go over the wall line with a metal detector. What you're looking at there certainly has some age to it. I'm in N.E. NM, and we have rock walls/pens from the late 1800's, typically built by shepherds after the natives were isolated on reservations in about 1870. We still have teepee rings in some locations, and a friend found a pre-Apache exposed grave that was exhumed, recorded and re-interred by state archaeologists. There is a lot more history under our noses than is apparent.

Very cool! I enjoyed the video.

I saw the wall on the topography map plain. 😊 I would rake and look for more proof of early civilization. In warmer weather of course ! Ty

Great work. Those are some massive boulders.

Doubles as a water retention structure for the land!

Seems it’d be worth bringing in students of archeology with ground penetrating lazers like is uased on TIME TEAM; invite them for Pete’s sake

I had no idea native Americans built stone walls; I always associated them with colonist farmers plowing fields and needing somewhere to put the rocks they dig up. Thank you for expanding my horizons! I wonder what the purpose of the walls was. It's easy to say something is "ceremonial" and not look deeper. Speculating, perhaps the walls were there to demarcate a sensitive part of the watershed from that spring. I can imagine you wouldn't want your neighbor "copping a squat" right near your source of clean water. A stone wall could be a good way to signpost that.

What's that app

Looks like the head of a raptor the bird not dinosaurs

I would certainly agree with you...

Love these videos. Need these like an hour long

These are dope videos brother. I appreciate what you do, gives me free entertainment. God Bless

I have seen a lot of of rock piles and have always been under the impression that they were just where a farmer cleared a field of rocks at least in southwest Virginia

Thank's for your hard work in documenting all of this. And at least your getting lots of fresh air and exercise.

Perhaps built upon crossing ley lines?

It would be interesting to look on Google Earth and see if the layout is visible. Maybe the split rocks and pointing tree would make sense in a plan of the site in it's geographical context.

This looks just like some of the standing stones that are aligned to solstice events at America's Stonehenge in New Hampshire.

what is a manitou stone?

Fascinating ! I’m out in Arkansas- I once visited Brattleboro Vermont is beautiful …

I live in Massachusetts. My son and I found a strange boulder in the woods across from our home. There are carvings of native Americans and what clearly looks like a bear. If you're interested, I can lead you to it. It's about a mile and a half walk into the woods. Pretty amazing stuff.

It's been standing there long enough for that moss and lichen to grow on it. Nice find!

What exactly is a Manitou stone? It's use, meanings, origins? Where's this video filmed? Approximately. Canada? From the name I'm only assuming.

lndians were killing people so walls were put up to stop them

YES! I just subscribed and got to 1K! It is really interesting. Thank you very much for the information.
