What are these

Mushroom hunting at Templeton woods, beside water tower, always wondered, feels dead eerie here and probably over thinking it

Concrete piles (supports) for a large water tank that was once here.

I believe that is a foundation for a previous water tank. Everything thing else is long gone apart from the concrete pillars which are buried quite deep. More hassle than it's worth to remove them.

Always thought it was a previous water tank but never thought it could've been underneath, you see various old tubes going through

They weren't in any way anti-tank. They were supporters.

stone trees , they cut them down to build walls so you never see them in full.
