I don't know for certain Coquet what that heap is ...but.....the fenced off area to the right of the photo encloses a pond. An overflow trench was dug out diagonally from the corner. The first part has a pipe but further down the trench is left open. I think it is possibly the excess soil from the excavation, but the farmer will know as he dug it. The metal thingy was dug out from that. I think that is probably cast iron, extremely heavy.
