Actually that is probably just where the edge of a field was and the
rocks that came to the surface in plowing were tossed there out of the
way. These are quite common in the hilly regions of the eastern US. So
in a sense it is a boundary marker, but an unintended one. You will
notice that they are not the type of stones one would chose to lay an
unmortared wall.

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.
