did the boulder face define the direction of the stone rows construction?
This formation is only a stones throw from a neo-Pagan stone altar. Stone Tables & Neo-Pagan Altars: These table-like structures are encountered in the woods with surprising regularity. Some seem to have Native significance and others appear to be part of campsites. Further, there is a whole class of these structures that are apparently neo-Pagan altars, and are directionally aligned in keeping with modern neo-Pagan ritual practices. For an examination of some of these structures in the Nashoba area, see: The Six Altars Of Nashoba. Stone Tables at Flag Hill in Acton & Fort Pond in Littleton Note: Fort Pond was so-named after the Indian Fort of the 1651-1714 Praying Indian Village era. The Fort Pond “table” is located on one of the islands where the Nashoba were said to have made burials, and as late as 1921 were said to still visit their ancestors there. Neo-Pagan Altars at Lake Nagog and on Oak Hill in Littleton Note: The altar on the left does not seem to have had any recent activity
