That is what Shirley told us about the stone wall. Also the spot at the shore end of the wall is an ideal barge landing spot. Of course you know about the remains of the sheep fence that ran north from near your place. I believe that the west section of Welch was all clear cut sheep pasture. I have also been told that workers, sheep herders or lumber jacks, took their lunch pails, then called dinner pails, to Dinner Rock for lunch.
