I’d have already tried to open that up, but then again I really really would love to own a cave.

Just stick your arm in there and see if you can feel anything. If you don't get bitten, stabbed or abducted by aliens, it's good to go. Might be a good bugout bag/prep staging location.

You should have this guy explore it.  The worst claustrophobic caving you will ever see. *TRIGGER WARNING |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Looks like the big boulders were used to try to plug the hole. I'm sure it's very tempting to remove the boulders and debris and see what's down there. Just be sure to have a trained TV show dog who can run and tell somebody that you are "stuck in the well". Hopefully you'll be rescued within 30 minutes and it won't have to be continued on the next episode. Or... Maybe it's another "Mel's Hole". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mel Apparently people believe the stupidest damned things…. Even when the “proofing” method itself (fishing line) would be impossible even if the original claim itself were true…. |

What is the local geology? Is it predominantly limestone? If so, it could an entrance to a cave system.

Looking at that pic that is not the original size hole.
The hole was much much larger . Someone in the past closed that up to keep something in . |
