Years ago I dug a round six footer that was lined from top to bottom with clinker bricks. All the bricks were so twisted and distorted they must have had a hard time stacking them. The pit contained mostly 1870s material. It’s not un-common to find a brick lined pit like this that starts square and turns round here in California. In fact good things often happen when we run into this and most are usually deep and very old. The square part provided a foundation and large opening for the house, the round was for stability being much more structurally stable than square.[/align]
