When you realize the size of it all it really does not make sense

Ancient rock walls in New England defy logic in a lot of ways and until you spend years upon years walking them and following them its hard to Grasp. I have spent just about 20 years out here in the woods of NH metal detecting, exploring and reading the landscape history. Today I was just trying to get to the back of one colonial farm......Just one location lined with rock walls in a square and it was brutal ! The landscape is awful, the walls are miles long and the land is useless even for sheep. There is still questions about who built the stone walls here and I must say it is becoming more mysterious to me. No settler back in the 1700s would have had the time to clear the land of timber, pull all these rocks and lay 2 miles of four foot tall rock wall to mark his property. All of that while building his house, hunting for food, cultivating crops and just straight up surviving. As well the massive square shaped 200 acres of rock wall are perfectly north east west and south by compass, but the rock walls in the farm area are sloppy and all over the place. And again, this is one farm out of thousands and thousands in New England that have miles of stone walls. Im telling you, spend one year going out exploring and following rock walls and it will change what you think about what you have been told about the ancient rock walls of New England.
