An odd skip body.

I noticed this a few weeks ago whilst out on the fat bike, but only today was I passing with a camera.

Its a narrow gauge skip wagon body, make unknown, found in the corner of a sheep field just outside Buxton in Derbyshire, just a few fields away from Tunstead limestone quarry (SK088748).

The cross bar is unusual, and note the crane loops and eyelet.

Note also the locking(?)catch above the trunnion, and the build up of lime dust on the ends.

I wonder if it was placed there as an animal feeder?
