Rock walls have been used for thousands of years to delineate property lines. As modern building techniques evolved or property is consolidated throughout the years, their importance decreases and they are abandoned. I always found it interesting when I come across a rock wall where I least expect it: What did the original property look like? Why a boundary here?
This is the second in a series highlighting forgotten rock walls that I have come across, usually while geocaching. The others are available at the following link:
Listing of Forgotten Rock Wall caches
This wall is located in Wilcox Park (on the southern end of the Tourne). Easiest access is from Birchwood Lake parking lot. A house is not too far from the cache location so be stelthy!
NOTE: The cache does not reside on the wall
