except some rocks scattered here and there
except 是介词,scattered here and there 是过去分词短语作定语。
except some rocks scattered here and there = except some rocks which were scattered here and there
1. 结构上看,except 用作连词时,应跟 that 连用,即: except that + 从句。你的句子没有 that。如果把 scattered 看作谓语动词,那意味着 except 就是连词,但缺少 that 。所以排除 except 是连词。
2. 句意上看,scattered 如果是一般过去时,则是主动语态,指石头自身的动作。句子意思应该是, 过去分词 scattered 是指石头被人为散落的,表示散落后的状态,而不是自身的动作。
