@@zone4garlicfarm This is on top of a hill. A lot of the mines were as near to the coast as possible in order to utilize ships. In the 1880's ox carts were the only transportation otherwise to get to railheads.
First! LOL Definitely looks like it was a big structure! As you mentioned, probably a reservoir. I was wondering how deep it was on the other side of the circular wall. If somebody were to fall in there, would they be able to get out?
@@AbandonedMines11 Probably nobody yet was stupid enough to fall in because I didn't see any no trespassing signs. Anything of this nature is a liability by its existence.
Were materials hauled from the mine by train? Railroad turntables had round foundations. I know of a few in western Maine.

@@AbandonedMaine It was only a guess. A lot of old mines had their own narrow gauge tracks.
