Incorporating the remains of a fallen-down farm wall that Goldsworthy discovered on the site.

My understanding is that there are many such dry-stone walls in The Appalachians and these indicate former settlements and former farmland areas, later given over to forest as more attractive and easier to farm farmland became available further and further west. So it may seem a bit incongruous to see these walls in the middle of a vast forest, but it just shows how young much of the forest actually is! If I've got this wrong, please feel free to correct me!
