The Location

[1]

The site is in the woods in Foxborough, but less than a mile from the center of Mansfield. It is best accessible either from a (plant) nursery or from nearby railroad tracks. It's unclear who owns the property; there are no obvious boundaries (although the land is not the most passable in places).

The Geohash

We approached from Mansfield center, walking up County Street. It turned out that, for whatever reason, there was a substantial network of trails in the relevent segment of forest, such that we didn't have any trouble getting quite near the point. The trails connect both to the railroad tracks to the east, and the nursery to the southwest.
