ShayK Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Hi I was recently doing some planting when I came across this thing. Does anyone know what it could be? Our house was built in 1800 and this was located close to the stonewall that borders our property. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShayK Posted July 29, 2018 Author Share Posted July 29, 2018 I actually don’t know the history of the house :-(. The local historian didn’t either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
