Pulling back brambles and scraping ground and found this, approx 6 feet by 3. Thought was an old tank but lifted the lid and it's only about 1.5feet deep with a mechanism in it.
Thinking some sort of weighing scales but don't see how get the weight as only 4 little holes on each corner, possibly for lifting lid? And there was no sign of how you'd keep an animal on it, and its away from the old sheds. And why underground rather than a platform one or just at the mart ?
There's been no work done on this farm since the 1940s so it's definitely older than that.

We've one here too, it's a scales, previous owners here used to sell gravel and there's a ridge in ours to steady a horses cart, the old carts were balance in that all the weight was on the wheels so could be weighed just by putting the wheels on the weghbridge....ours is in bits but we painted it up and put it back down on the ground anyway.
Pooley is the name on the base
