What is this?

A well?Here is the site with the well to the right rear and a rock pile of some sort to the left front.

Good find!

This looks a little like a spring source in Hallstead, PA, which consists of a lintel stone or two, with the spring emerging from underneath. Nearby are a number of large cairns, undoubtedly (to me, anyway) related to the spring.

There are lots of possibilities. I think Norman's guess is excellent. It could also be an old storage pit, an old cistern, or even possibly a disturbed stone-lined burial chamber.
