Log Text: Thurston St lot the best for access. A bit of a long hike on the first side trail heading east off of Megley Trail, but one plus is that the same trail brings you right by several other sites. Last bit is a 200-300 ft bushwhack into woods and the enclosure is not easily spotted from a distance.

Foxborough Prayer Seat (10) submitted by stonetracker on 24th Jan 2023. 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.

Log Text: 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 Perched Boulder (6) submitted by stonetracker on 26th Jan 2023. Large boulder sitting on one prop stone. Could be an accident of nature except that the prop appears to have been inserted long after the boulder settled there.

Log Text: A number of ways to access, but the shortest way is from Thurston St. Take Megley trail north for 1/2 to 3/4 mile then take a side trail on right down a steep slope for 100-200 yds. Site is 100 ft east bushwhack in the woods and not easy to spot from side trail due to overgrowth. But site itself is clear of trees.

Foxborough Standing Stone (5 submitted by stonetracker on 21st Jan 2023. Site Q on published map. This standing stone was originally twice as tall but the top half broke off sometime between 2003 and 2017. The broken half is lying on the ground in the foreground. The buttress stones are still there. Clearly manmade.

Log Text: An update on access. This site is accessed from a trail north from Megley, opposite the Dolmen site trailhead. Climb up trail 100 yds or so onto open ledges. Just after the ledges, turn right and bushwhack into the woods about 75 ft. Site is very difficult to spot from trail as it is surrounded by trees; GPS is helpful.

Log Text: Site is equidistant from either the High Rock or Thurston St lots. From Thurston St, take Megley Trail about 3/4 of a mile. After you pass the side trail to Foxborough Standing Stone (2), take the next side trail for 50 ft east to the site which is on a flat ledge.

Foxborough Prayer Seat (7) submitted by stonetracker on 23rd Jan 2023. Took some effort to find, as it is in the bushes. The U-shaped enclosure, which could be a prayer seat, has settled a bit into the topsoil.

Log Text: Revisited. No change but added a photo. This site is located in difficult terrain, as it is deep in a valley with steep sides and no direct trail. If you approach from the south, be prepared to cross a wetland.

Log Text: This is a so-called Chaco canyon outlier great house site built in the 1100s CE. It is accessible via a 1/4 to 1/2 Mile hike up a hill behind the Canyons of the Ancients Museum. Those like me who live close to sea level may want to take it easy with high elevation trail walking at first until they get acclimated. The trail is switch backed with benches, great views, and good interpretation of local flora. The entire route is paved to the top and likely wheelchair accessible.
