yes tar kiln and if you dig down through the charcoal which should be about a foot thick you will come upon a clay layer.I have found different kilns with different color clay beds,pink,white and grey so far.I have never dug through the clay to see how thick they lay that layer?

Looks like one at first glance but if you scrutinize the left side it's bent in on itself,not quite round. It's definitely man made,I don't think it's Laurel but it may be a hole.Heck your there,go check it out!

I"ve camped in Francis Marion and poked into Wambaw swamp and Hellhole bay a bit.No time for serious bushwacking and I was alone,I didn't care about that back then but am seriously starting to watch myself now.One eye and a bad knee makes bushwacking a much more serious business:-(

I thought maybe the waxiness of the leaves was fooling the LIDAR into mistaking it for solid ground but yes I have been "gotten" several times by kiln sized patches of the stuff.

The only one i would say might be a kiln would be bottom left but I think it's a test pit because of the shadow in it showing it's a hole.Tar kilns are a donut rim of dirt sitting on basically level ground ,not really a hole to be throwing shadows.I also see no trench of course the trench...

I thought you meant the tarkiln Brook down near Head of the River on Weatherby Rd.I had to switch to Topo Because the LIDAR was an unrecognizable area to me.I then seen why.Thats all the way up near the Metedeconk! I hearby name ot the "Yankee Tarkiln"! Of course being the finder the naming is...

so were the ones that I mistook for kilns and were laurel.Around here you will have open woods with kiln size patches of laurel in them.Deer often drop their fawns in them.They have foold me several times as kilns.Now a few of those you show are definitely kilns.Classic donut with a trench...

the gate I have run up on to the south is here https://boydsmaps.com/#17.00/39.685844/-74.722605/pines1995/0.00/0.00 I came out of the rd just below it that leads back around to Rockwood.Soon as you come out of that rd the gate is visible to the right.

I have been fooled by thick clusters of laurel that sometimes appear to be kilns.If it looks like a donut it's probably a kiln but if it looks like a fluffy round object not a defined donut it may be a laurel patch.

There is almost no poison ivy on the Batsto,Wading or Mullica but for some reason Nescohague is full of it. So is this swamp https://boydsmaps.com/#15.00/39.752321/-74.737858/pines1949/0.00/0.00

Thats a beach I used to take my dog many years ago.Don't get out that way very often now with the road being closed off in both directions.I was out that way last year,managed to get through the Rockwood route since the last fire the fire folks plowed the road into decent shape.That area is...

Wow! I"d say I see five there all strung out east to west.Have you went to them on the ground yet?

actually thats good.I was getting perturbed thinking they closed it off since I"ve been there.Someone also left a grill at my dog beach too

Matter of fact last time I was there I think I remember that grill being left there

https://boydsmaps.com/#17.00/39.671398/-74.536183/njgin2007i/0.00/0.00 Right here. One of my dog beaches and if they have closed it down I will just unclose it.My favorite dog beach actually. I may be wrong but it looks like our beach.if so you can walk across there knee deep and gravelly.To...

No doubt there are dollar signs involved.
