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=
=20
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=
=20
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=
=20
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=
ar=20
on top of the mound. Two small treaded bolts are embedded in the top cent=
er=20
of the concrete pillar.

That is all that was noted for the feature. One suggestion is that it cou=
ld=20
have been a surveyor's platform. Any more thoughts out there? Thanks.
