New archaeological search on AT

I just heard from an Appalachian Trail volunteer that there is a foundation and a series of stone walls west of the Trail on the section he maintains.  Using LiDAR imagery, I zoomed into the area and created this simple image.






The red line is the trail, and the blue lines mark the National Park boundaries.  I hope to visit the site this weekend to photograph the features on the ground.  Preliminary research in the area has given me with names of the former occupants.

Archaeology is like a mystery and I am in the process of gathering "evidence."   Should be interesting.
