258.101 Foundation

The Foundation, 

While moving up slope the party uncovers what looks to be an old foundation.  The whole thing seems to be slightly crooked and facing down slope like it may have subsided into this position over the years. 

It is 10 foot wide and 12 foot long, made of the local stone and seems quite old. There  are no signs of walls or a roof, except the  rubbish and debris which have collected inside the foundation it's self. 

The rocks making up the foundation are moss covered and weather worn. They were laid up by collecting stone and fitting them in place, without the use of mortar.  The floor of the  foundation which is done in a similar manner lies about three feet below the level of the surrounding land. 

As stated above the whole area of the foundations interior is cluttered with  dead / rotten vegetation and a build up of soil.
