Here are two parallel stone rows about 15 feet apart, forming an enclosure filled with loose stones. These are in shallow water, and would have been on dry land before the pond level was raised in 1826.
Here are some details from the first stone row.
Large stones are placed on top of smaller ones.
Between the two stone rows is this enclosure, with a large stone resembling a manitou in the center. There is a small puddingstone to the right of the manitou.
The second wall has two large propped boulders. Daylight is visible under both. Some of the stones resemble manitous.
And here's the other boulder, with a manitou to the left. This looks like an effigy, perhaps of a fish.
The large manitou between the two stone rows faces northeast, apparently to Rolling Rock in Fall River. This has to the the most elaborate structure on South Watuppa Pond.
