I was in West Virginia a few years ago and visited and old battle site.   I will have to look up the location, it was a hill top battle and it was between north and south  on the Road up to the house where there was a bend in the road was the old fighting trenches that they had dug, they ran in a perfect defensive location to keep anyone from going up the mountain road. It was two and in one spot three ditches that ran parallel with the road. Sounds very similar to what you discribe

Nice video, hand chopping can have it's interesting moments. I take it that was a lightning strike on the oak.

Looks exactly like pit and mound or what we call cradle knolls. A natural occurrence here. The holes are longer than they are wide. Where my dad grew up, and the forest I hunted as a kid, I was convinced that at some point someone had been searching for some sort of long lost buried loot.  :)  This area which my family called the cradle knolls, was where I sat year after year in a deer blind. It was years later as an adult, after spending hours and hours of looking at these, that I formed my hypothesis of what happened. It was here on the forum where the Foresters confirmed my conclusions.  Not saying yours isn't something different, but everything I see makes me think its natural.  The earth is a wondrous place.  :)

the only thing I don't think it is, is blow over holes.
its my turn to be jelous of your timber lol, them are nice oaks bro. looks like that tree had a bit of a sweep to it, can be hard to read. you must really trust your skidder op.

Don't feel bad last week I went to fall a nice fat dougie, stuffed all my wedges in (5) and she still didn't want to go, so I figured the little hemlock next to it was holding her up... still didn't go.  Its been roughly an hour to this point, both trees are point down the easy way back to the landing.  So I get to walk the long way back... uphill both ways... to grab one of the jacks... did I mention the jacks are really heavy, if you get a chance to buy one of them silvey jacks do so...  2 hours one tree no video but got 3 36' logs out of it and better then half a log load out of one tree.
well that didn't work

What kind of rock around these holes, any iron ore in your area, around here we find test pits where they were searching for iron ore all over the mountains! These holes ore pits look similar and ours are from mid to late 1800's, but you may not even have iron around there, good luck, very interesting!
