Subject: Army Depot Mound Feature

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.
 
Mike
