Yo! Looks like to me that this is an old "water cisten" made of "clay"; dig a hole, to a certain dept, tample the clay soil down good (may leave footprints), let sun harden the clay in hole; water cisten is used to catch rain water, for "tribes" to utilize, later. If this is one of three holes with a path to 'em, you may have found watering holes for THREE native tribes from that area. The "sign" on the rock may be a "path" that leafs to THREE "watering holes"... DUNNO. 8) (sunny out).

What is it?
All the answers everyone gave is WRONG.

You will see holes just like this all over the west and in Spain too.
They are Grind holes used to crush rock into dust and extract the ores. Water near by? or in the creek bed?

You didn't tell us where it is.
You should at least give us an idea of what you THINK we are looking at
If that were a picture from the Americas The descriptions given are all accurate.

The answers given were good answers when related to the American West.
If you were posting a picture just for our viewing and enjoyment .
You certainly should have said so
Be more open minded and a little thicker of skin.

You will learn more.

I disagree and stand by my original post. These were eroded by water pools over many years. I've seen them a million times.

Sorry that is not an Arrastre. Not even close. I think djui5 and the others nailed this one on the head.

Ya mean that to tell everyone what to see ruffled everyones feathers.
Grind holes are all over the WORLD. Not just here in the West, we had Spain mining the west for 300 years, they learned it from the Romans.

Where a flow of water could be had, a hole would be tapped into the rock. Next a hole would be ground in with pressure. Add a little ore, and continue grinding, add some more, with some water and maybe some mercury....

Oh, Wait! I haven't enslaved the population to do this work....

Modern day we use ball mills.

What you discribe is an "Arrastre"

I agree with Eric, Having seen some of these that date from the 1950s clear back to late 1690s this looks like a water eroded hole in the rock.
