So im out visiting relatives tonight and there showing me a recent void that opened up in back yard ohh boy looks like a possible privy or cistern, something? Let me back up about 4 years ago we dug a 18' monster privy in this yard and found tons of bottles. Now this privy was always thought as the second privy hole on property due to the fact at bottom of the one we dug all the glass was about 1860s and newer. The current house on property was built in 1870 when the original was torn down. Original house was circa 1840s and so could be older pits that were used in time of older house. So I am thinking positive that this is the original pit and full of pontil glass! Or maybe its old cistern, witch again would be a second unknown cistern because house already has one? I have no clue what this is exactly but only one way to find out. Any thoughts?
