Cute little thing!! Too small to be practical unless you only had a few animals. I'm always
impressed with setting on a big rock for a foundation.
 
More like the Blue Ridge in my area,farther West in Appalachia Mts be hard to find a piece of land that flat,of course many people group all the mountain ranges around this area as the Appalachia Mts.
 
Many of those around here back in the day.
This one is on our place and has been shown on here before.

If that crib held 200 bushels maybe a little more, you would have needed 10 acres cleared stony land to produce that much and then work it
all by hand. Probably pick and shuck it by hand, that was all you could get done along with cutting wood and taking care of some livestock, a
big garden, maybe no running water, maybe a tobacco patch, I get tired thinking about it and have great empathy for those whodid that and
raised a family.
 
Having seen a bunch of these growing up, I know it is a corn crib.
A lot of corn out of these was used in making shine.
