I always thought they were farm boundaries from the old homestesders.
I always found them in second growth forests.

I don't know if we had any civil war battles here in S.E. Indiana. I haven't heard of any. The walls aren't near any property lines. They are at the bottom of a hillside. There is zero chance of it being flood control. The creek is dry unless it rains and then it's just a trickle of water flowing through it. The wall would probably still be standing if I hadn't of messed with it when I was a kid :-[ The rocks are from the creek bed next to it. This spring I'd like to build a small dam across the creek. I'd like to make a small watering hole for the deer. It would be a 10 yard shot from my stand.
The first doe I killed with a recurve this past deer season was standing a few feet from the wall when I shot her. She jumped it after the shot.

That creek may have roared at one time. What it does now doesn't mean much. We have a river that flows by about 5 miles south of the house. It used to float paddle wheelers not all that long ago, now its just barely deep enough to run a flat bottom.

Whatever the reason I'm sure there is one. Nobody piles stones for the fun of it

Trust me, it's not flood control. This spot is maybe 150 yards from the top of the hillside where the valley starts. It's just a run off for the rain. Our property is on the high ground. I'll show you next December ;)
