Carl describes the stones on the Pocasset Ridge Trail that he believes held special significance for the Native American people who occupied the land.

The two-mile trail leads to several rocks, one of which on the left can be rocked to produce a drumming sound that can be heard at great distances.

Carl examines another rock perched on a granite outcropping as well as rocks piled in undulating shapes that mimic a snake and that would have been useless to retain farm animals.

Carl examines another rock formation that may have been used for healing ceremonies as well as a field of smaller rocks that litter the crest of the hill.
