Digging a hole - walls under ground.

You should for sure bury some weird shit in the hole when you are done.

Well, it's fully excavated and bailed out of water. Phew! That was tiring work. At least I didn't spend all weekend in The Hole(!)

So, yeah, it is 4 brick walls with concrete bottom all round. No way for water to escape - no wonder it was so wet, even after a relatively dry spell. Still no idea what it used to be. Too small to be an air raid shelter IMO.

I guess the question now is whether to try remove the actual structure? Or at least smash up the base or remove a few bricks so it has a chance of draining out better.

Maybe a fake pond, with faux fish?

Or a firepit?

Or line it with crystals and LEDs and a glass cover?

I'm thinking pond.

People on Imgur seem to think it may be an old sceptic tank. Seeing as the property had an outhouse elsewhere, and this pit has no pipes going in and is watertight/has no soak away that seems really unlikely to me. Oh, and the area has some really decent / old sewage pipes which go directly under where the original outhouse stood.
