12 inch pipe that is appx 15 feet deep with water in the bottom. This pipe is on the front porch and next to the basement. Basement wall has a large hole which has been repaired. There was an old sump pump in the basement. If any of you have thoughts I would like to hear them.
Probably a shallow well (bored). I have seen several similar ones. It could also be an access to a cistern. These are common to an area in the panhandle of West Virginia that I used to inspect.
Better guesses would require more information about the site.
As stated above, you coud be loking at A: an old well; B: an acess to a cistern; or C: an old vent pipe.
I have seen venting pipes like this before on pre 1950's plumbing.
