There is always a good chance we will find something quite unexpected when hiking the hilltowns. We often go home with more questions and back to the research we go! When out hiking the Pontoosuc Turnpike crossing into Middlefield from Becket we came across this neatly organized rock pile somewhat shaped like a boat. Pointing directly to the West Branch of the Westfield River, could this be ceremonial stonework? A marker guiding towards the river?
