God how I miss those days
There was never a dull moment driving around with the doors open -back when the trucks didn't have seatbelts.

You and me both. I almost lost a supe training me on an RD route when I hit a bump while he was standing in the footwell with the door open! Good times.

I had a female center manager end up in my lap one time when I swerved to miss a pothole and NO I didn't enjoy it. She was big, ugly and mean.

just plain assult charges would of been more accurate. Nothing sexual about it:

As you know New England is known for its stone walls. We had one around our property when I was a kid. The top picture definitely looks like some sort of foundation, although the fact that it is only on 3 sides is confusing.
I have no idea about the bottom picture. I don't think it is a foundation or a stone wall.

If its close to a larger foundation, its an outbuilding of some type. It would be interesting to take a metal detector out there and see what you can dig up. Buildings tended to be small a long time ago because of the cost of construction, and homes were small so they could be heated easier. Storage, outside kitchen, blacksmith, tannery, smokehouse......lots of possibilities.

Over, I think it could be the foundation of a stable or something similar like Scratch suggested. Does the open side face south so the building protected livestock from harsh winter winds? I would bet the other was a wall at some point like Upstate guessed. What a wonderful place to wander around.

I'm no historian and only speculating here,this looks to me like the foundations of an important building.
Possibly a storage hut for corn or other essentials that winter would negate.The tree that grows inside must me at least
40 years old.This may be a remnant of the indians dealing with winter.

Stable, hmm I never considered that. And yes, the open side does face south.
There are some "artifacts" inside the walls. I'll snap some pictures of those if I get out there again before the snow.
Possibly!
Smokehouse is another one I never thought of!
