While I was snapping pics two women came walking by so I asked if they lived around there and what that building might have been. They said they didn't know. Then they pointed across the road to this tower usually hidden in the undergrowth. What was it used for? It probably wasn't a silo, too hard to clean. It might have been a water tower. One said that that region of Carlisle used to have mining and other interesting activities back in the 1700's but the tower was too new. It didn't look like the flue for a kiln.



And hidden even deeper in the woods, barely visible, is another stone building.



Fascinating.
