On the southern and northern side, as well as in the middle of the mouth of North Arm Brook were stone and wood cribs. They appeared to be for a bridge to cross the brook. The photo is of the southern crib.

This is a close-up of the northern crib. Several sawn logs can be seen interlaced with stone work.

Looking south. The arrows point to three stone features across the brook mouth. There was another jumble of stones to the right of the closest arrow on the north shore of the brook. There were no logs associated with those stones. From the cursory look we had that day it did not appear anyone had ever lived in the area. This begs the question, why would someone go through the trouble of making a bridge to cross a brook when no one lives nearby?
