You often see these in New England. At one time, what are now woods,
was probably a farmer's field. Typically if the field had stones in it
that hampered plowing, they would move them to the edge of the field,
along the fence line. Often you see these in a zig-zag pattern that
followed the path of the now rotted away split rail fence that was used
to mark the boundary of the field.

do stone walls fall down in that way? Have you any idea who built it? I
mean, was it built by Europeans, or by Indians? It looks less like a wall
and more like some kind of boundary marker to me.
