Think this is a cellar hole?

[Picklejar]

Hey all, I found this structure after digging out a large square of dairy glass infested dirt. This is way out in the woods, signs of early habitation are numerous around this site. I'm just not sure if its a cellar wall or something. It seems to big for a privy, though I did not dig it all the way out. The thing is that I thought that I had already located the footprint of the original home. Who knows? The bricks on one side are stacked normal and sealed with a cement or parging material after the top three rows. The facing corner wall is the same except that the bricks on the top layer are laid at a slanting angle downward, as if for easement of moving things in and out or dumping into. I, unfortunately, cannot return to this site so it must remain a mystery. A shame because it was starting to yield some real promising local shards around 2 ft. in. Any guesses on what the structure may have been? --Joe

Slight angle change.

This is the type of stuff that was on the surface and top foot or so of the site. It's what attracted me to the area in the first place.

It looks a lot like the cistern in the basement in my place in Vt, brick outside with smooth finished walls on the inside.
