The remains of an old and relatively large barn. What now remains of the barn is the expansive foundation, the Northwest facing wall and a couple of concrete elements. There is also a large climbable silo.

There are a few obvious risks of this place. Sharp metal pieces are more around the sides of the foundation, but small rusty nails are everywhere. In the pile of collapsed barn at the bottom of the silo is where I heard an animal or two shifting around in, maybe a den. There are also plants growing everywhere.

I don't have much history on this place besides some pictures from 2008, courtesy of Marilyn Whiteley. Based off of her pictures, it looks like the place had been abandoned even before 2008. Additionally, there is a date traced into concrete at the bottom of the 7th image. From what I can make out it reads: "Nov 3 1956", meaning it was likely added in a renovation or interior addition of the barn.
