stonetracker visited on 1st Feb 2017 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 2 Site Y on published map. Trail access and parking is the same as Foxborough Prayer Seat 3. The site is 400-500 ft SE of the latter, on an outcrop in relatively open woods. A bit difficult to spot.

Foxborough Prayer Seat (10)
Foxborough Prayer Seat (10) submitted by stonetracker : This is a rather damaged U-shaped enclosure that utilizes an outcrop for its back wall. It is unclear whether the stones were placed by man or nature, but they do have what looks like a deliberate arrangement. (Vote or comment on this photo)
