old hitching post?


This curiosity is next to a small metal building on “the farm” that the former owners called a “shop” — it’s more like a small shed with a big porch. We assume this was used as a hitching post for their horse? But in front of the posts is a shallow wooden box full of gravel. Maybe it’s extra gravel for the long driveway? If so, there’s not nearly enough.

UPDATE:
The previous owners kept sheep. Someone on line thinks this might be for cleaning the sheared fleeces (over the gravel), then hanging the fleeces over the post to dry.
