If I can i'll try and get a photo of it but wondered if anyone can shed some light on this?

I had a wee swatch whilst I was up that way and here's what I found.......
Your concrete lampost is here right enough, in the middle of nowhere. Looks as if there was
something here judging by the wall in the background
You can see there has been a wide opening just in front of the lampost...
Whereas further down it looks like a more close-sized one......
And another one still complete with front steps.....
Looks like there was something else here until recently too, you can still smell the burnt wood....
Obviously burning things is a favourite pastime round here......
