This Land, Part One

Our Compound now has a building:
Thanks to Preston, Tex has arrived and is waiting to be useful storage/workshop space.

While exploring the property this week, we again found something of a mystery. We saw it before, but I didn't think to photograph it. It appears to be an earth-bermed condo for some kind of burrowing animal, as it has ventilation holes on top at the back. Anyone have any ideas what it might have been used for? It's probably been there for 25-30 years, at least. I keep trying to think of a good use for it:                  

The lid of the barrel is lying in front there, waiting to be put back over the opening. Curious ....

Our plans are progressing, and I hope to soon be blogging from This Land, just north of Montello. We have a few million details to see to first, but there's light at the end of the tunnel, and I don't think it's a train. The sock monkeys can hardly wait!
