Hello guys! Recently, I have found a decent amount of cellar holes using LiDAR. Anyways, the best looking one seems to be deep in the public woods behind a school, around a quarter mile off of a nature trail. I am willing to take the hike though, having recently gone around .8 miles through the woods without trails in a nearby town forest, my phone with GPS on it died when I got there unfortunately. Lucky, I made sure to check where the sun was before I went off trail, and walked back that way, walking at a slight angle to the left, because I had to walk at a slight angle to the right on the way there. I made it back almost exactly where I went off trail somehow! Anyways, I haven't been out yet to check the really nice cellar hole that I mentioned. One thing that I think is interesting, is that according the LiDAR image, 10 feet or so behind it is a tiny enclosed area, a square space around 50 by 50 feet, enclosed by large stone walls. I am wondering what such a space would be used for, not nearly as big as most of the abandoned wooded farm fields that I find in the woods. The cellar hole does not appear on any maps, with the earliest available map being from the 1850's. I am almost certain that it is virgin ground, as no one would no about such a cellar hole that doesn't appear in any maps, and is pretty far off of the trail. Does anyone have any idea what this space could be used for, and if it would be good to metal detect? Thanks!
