The Grinding Stone located on the top of a knoll suggests there must have been a water source nearby. A hollow, or swale to the east is moist, and does have clumps of ferns , suggesting a source existed at one point. However, the stream bed appears to have been totally dry for many years. Perhaps the construction of a nearby, parallel gravel road for horse and wagon caused a diversion of this source. The road is known to follow roughly the "old Indian path" heading north.

| Old stream bed in the Central Section, with row of stepping stones, crossing from the down-hill on one side to the up-hill," east to west. This area of Massachusetts was settled about 1767. At some point an early farmer constructed a raised causeway just behind where I am standing to take the photo. |
