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=20
survey area which we are attempting  to identify with  limited success.  I=

appeal to the  greater HISTARCH community for  assistance.  Here is  the
description=20
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 2=
5=20
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 pill=

on top of the mound.  Two small treaded   bolts are embedded in the top cent=

of the concrete   pillar.

That is all that was noted for the feature.  One  suggestion  is that it cou=

have been a surveyor's  platform.  Any more thoughts  out there?   Thanks.
