Rock Shelter

[dognose]

1320's post of the rock shelter, Got off the couch today, got me think of the rock shelter by my cabin in KY.

Here are two photos of a rock shelter behind our cabin.

it appears from me that someone stacked up the rocks.

I have not yet investigated due to when I am there the temp are favorable for snake and critters. I was waiting for a cold day. A lot of snakes in this area. Rattlesnakes and copperheads. In the last 10 years I have personally seen three copperheads (way to close for my comfort) and a few rattlesnakes.

what do you think?


This is from a ways away. See the red arrow
You can see the creek in the photo





This is closeup, see how the rocks appear to be stacked? I don't think its natural.

here in wv a very similar stacked rocks was found by an amatuer and well he removed the stacked rocks and to his surprise it was a burial.... Now the state has got in on it and they undug and "researched" it.... I say if its a burial i say cover it back up and take it to your grave.

How deep does the passage go? Looks very interesting, I like squeezing into holes in the ground and that place looks ripe for exploration.

Judging from the first picture and the sparse smaller trees, my sense is that the area may have once been used as a pasture for livestock, and the wall of stones was stacked to keep the animals from venturing inside.
