If you take a walk in the woods and find stone walls that would seem to have no purpose in their location, think back to that time when there were very few trees. The land was farmed and the stone walls were constructed to keep the sheep in the pastures. (Crops can be grown in NH, and we all know that NH certainly can grow rocks and boulders, more than enough to build all those walls. )
