Rockpiles found along old Transmitter Road - Decker Avenue

These rock piles - some of which look damaged from old trees long gone are of the low to the ground type. I say this because there seems to be types here. Some are similar yet different from the ones found in Eastern Pennsylvania, West Virginia and New England. I have yet to find the large cone shaped cairns and piles. But that's not to say they aren't here because I just might not have found them yet. Or given the amount of historical flooding, they could well have been destroyed long ago.
All these rockpiles sit on basically a level area (given the terrain) about 2500 feet up.
This pile - the left side - kinda looks like a manitou stone to me.
There are at least 15 rockpiles in this one area alone.
Though the pictures don't reflect it. They all seem to be aligned to each other in a grid like pattern.
As you can see, most of these have seem to have suffered some tree damage in the past.
This site is located off to the left of the picture. This is the old road that goes to the transmitter. It comes out by the fire tower.
