This is a "Seen While Geocaching" structure. The cache page refers to it as a springhouse, and also as a well. It's located in the same general area as some great waterfalls, and overlooks, and is one more neat thing to see in this area.. but I sure would love to know exactly what it was!
Springhouses are typical found beside dairy farms, and are small buildings over a stream, used to keep items cool. More information here. I'm really not sure that is what this structure was - but it is possible.
The Geocache here is named "Thirsty? Too Bad."
There is an amazing site here with old photos and history of Hillsgrove, but I did not see any mention of this structure, unfortunately.
Very cool! Thanks for sharing this. I agree, doesn't look like a springhouse. Maybe there was more structure to it that is long gone.
