Eric Krewson:
The sheep eaters left these types of structures on century old sheep travel paths in the Rockies.

Yours could be used to funnel deer, elk or bison and would have lasted for thousands of years.

Is that an osage tree beside that wall?

No, that tree growing right next to it isn't an osage.  I have my tree stand in a gnarly osage a few feet away from it though. 

Parnell:
Cool that you've got that on your place, Clint.  Must make it fun to hunt with that in mind. 

I've come across structures like that over the years and growing up in different spots.  I lived on top of a ridge line in NJ for a few years in high school and would wander the woods finding structures like that.  Washington's army wintered there during the Revolution...I figured they were related to that.  Now you've got me wondering...

JEB:
I would think more for the military. Was there any military action in your area? If you have a metal detector I would detect that area good.  You may be surprised what you might come up with and it may answer your question.

willie:
not sure where you are at, but is that a virgin forest or is there a chance the land has been cleared for ag in the past few hundred years?

if thy were stacked up when you were a kid, they might not be that old
