It's a corner post for a barbed wire fence. It's a use for rocks when clearing fields, cheaper than metal, and you don't have to dig a hole in pure rock to place them. I've built a few.
Also quite a lot of stone posts around. At one time there wasn't much wood around here.

When you are on shallow soils with a big limestone ledge or otherwise can’t dig a post hole they work great. The added bonus is they obviously won’t burn off when doing spring burns. I’ve seen many a fence ruined when a small fire got in a post.

Lol, it's just a fence post. Although... it's very common to hang yotes and flathead heads from them to let others know how godly you are at hunting and fishing. Maybe the Jayhawks basketball team could have used some sacrifices to up their game this year.
Here's some more KS stone work. The big building with the huge stone is dated back to the late 1800's. Some Russian and German builders were in the area at the time. Imagine quarrying, cutting, transporting, and laying those stones without engines or electricity!
Don't know about the smaller "rooms" built into the bluff. They appear older to me but I don't know that.
Last post tonight, I promise.
Little Cat finished his season with individual All State honors (as well as League and Sub-State tournament champions)! Fun stuff!
It is on the property. Cool as hell!
I've strongly considered a rebuild on it including a new roof, but funds and time have kept me from doing it. It would be a cool deer blind. I have hunted from it from time to time.
Glad my pears don't look like that! It hit 19 last night here, so anything that flowered is hosed. Luckily, not a lot of flowering, but I'd guess still a freeze left this year as it's still early. We've been cutting asparagus already instead of it getting frozen off. Crazy early for that!
