Foxborough Standing Stone (4) submitted by stonetracker on 19th Jan 2023. This is the triangular rock on the left side of the photo. My opinion is that this is natural, either a glacial artifact or a broken off piece of stone due to frost fracture or weathering.

Foxborough Prayer Seat (3) submitted by stonetracker on 15th Jan 2023. A modern stomr fireplace and seat close to this site. The intent of this photo is to show evidence of modern usage very close to the prayer seat site, i.e. the little fireplace/niche and the stone seat on supports which I believe are fairly new. We sometimes see modern practical structures around here juxtaposed with possibly more "ancient" structures like prayer seats.
