We are working within a former portion of Tooele Army Depot in Utah which
was excessed during a BRAC action in the late 1990s. A feature occurs in our
survey area which we are attempting to identify with limited success. I
appeal to the greater HISTARCH community for assistance. Here is the description
of the feature (which lies within an open field adjacent to a paved road
within the depot's warehouse area):
The feature consists of a large mound of gravel and dirt measuring about 25
ft wide by 8 ft high. Atop this mound is a 15 inch square x 56 inch tall
pillar of concrete, which rests on a 67 inch x 67 inch square concrete pad. A
steel staircase lies on the mound on its north side leading up to the pillar
on top of the mound. Two small treaded bolts are embedded in the top center
of the concrete pillar.
That is all that was noted for the feature. One suggestion is that it could
have been a surveyor's platform. Any more thoughts out there? Thanks.
