Cellar hole or Nature ?

[papa]

Some years ago my Dad took me to a place in a open field,on top of a knoll,over looks a creek.Would be a great place for a fort,water and mountains for food near by.The thing is kind of spooky,a rock lined hole,about 40' X 20' and about 10' deep.The floor is also rock.The walls are nice and straight,just a little slope in the floor.A few small animal skeltons are at the bottom.On the top,I didn't find any remains of wood,stone,or anything else.First chance I get I'm going back with my MD. I hope I can find it again.
Anybody have any ideas what it might have been ? The land owner doesn't,land has been in his family for generations.

Sounds like a cistern. Good Luck hunting it!

In any event, sounds like a dangerous place to be alone. If someone fell into the hole, how would they get out? Which could explain the animal bones.

A little deep for a cellar hole, but I beleive that is what you have found and a big one at that. Go out and hit that one hard, sounds like it may have been rich folk

It may take me awhile to get back there,but you can bet I am,the first chance I get. After doing some research,I've heard of an "Old Tale" about a sealed CW cave in the same area, I do know that there was a CW battle a few miles from there. Anybody got a four wheeler and a ladder

Where you located? I've got plenty of ladders.
