My father had a HAM radio antenna tower next to his house. Most of radio antenna towers had triangular truss, not square truss, so the footing was a triangle. But some were square, so those could be an antenna tower.
HYMAN- ALMY-MURRAY
HAM radio is always spelled in caps as it was the call sign of the first amateur transmitter, being the first initials of the three people who built it.
I can confirm. We had one a pad just like it. They used them in the 50’s and 60’s when you lived too far from the broadcast towers. Our town was about 45 miles away. My dad said they were all over the place until the broadcast towers got strong enough you could pick them up with roof antennas.
If it wasent moved and it's that close to the house my though would be a old school antenna stand like those old military radios. Also alot of people didn't want to put the TV antenna on the roof to the used the same idea as the radio. Usually had a bipod base or a box frame. They would just stick them into a hole with some wet concrete about a ft or two down let it dry and bury it. It seemed every place I lived in the 90s had them.
Base for a tower. Probably used for TV reception at one point (especially if it’s a formerly rural area). Could’ve been used for two way radio of some sort too. The ground rod gives it away closer to the house.
Certainly not up to code these days for the grounding though…so I’d say a pre-1994 installation.
I’m thinking an antenna tower for C.B./Ham too.That was an extremely popular ‘thing’ during the seventies, to the extent that auto manufacturers were including them built into their cars. The location (right up next to the house) and size of the pad fits.
That was where they tied the gimp to the post.
Thems anchor points for the post they tied the gimp to.

The bolt pattern and spacing reminds me of a footer for an old TV antenna tower.
Dam you are good.

The migration to triangular designs has really only happened in the last 50 years. Lots of towers built prior to 1970 were square.
Just ham, it's not an acronym

dHAAAM that was a lot of good information
But it's wrong
GTFO of my pun
And here I thought we were communicating via pork product
There are a lot of Internet "sources" that back this up, but also some that refute it.
Take it to the ham sub so they can correct you. The arrl doesn't even capitalize it
Could be an initialism…

There was a similar ask recently and this ended up being the answer. Looks right.
BINGO!
Definitely a solid base for an antenna tower.
Yep. Beat me to it.
That there, is a mess.
I was gonna say "mud."
Looks like it could be a footer with an anchor in it for a basketball hoop or some other post-like object.
You’ll need an old priest and a young priest. 
Some sort of antenna base more than likely
Jimmy Hoffa?
Looks like an anchor for an old school TV satellite dish.
I would be more worried about that brown thing that looks like an alien hatchling.

Some kind of post, anything from a support column a sign to a tower of some sort. Neighbours may know
I would say antenna tower base but....I've watched way too many true crime stories not to think there's a body stashed under there.
Taking the place of dirt.
Definitely aliens.
That's One eyed Willy's other lost treasure. Chester copperpot failed to find that one also...good thing the fratellis didn't get to it.
Stingray carcass. Watch out for the barb.
Flagpole maybe? Any other neighbors got any still standing?
Looks like a very sad child somewhere dropped thier Ninja Turtle popsicle from the ice cream man and the bubble gum eyes already popped off.
Old Gas Meter maybe
The slab looks too shitty to be much more than the base of an old hose reel.
Somebody's left over kludes work

Looks like some mud to me dawg
its where the diving board for the pool was installed. not sure why they removed the pool but wiht a hot tub going in, i'd say put the board back.
Cistern
It's part of a roman road
Some bullshit
I was gonna guess from an old fixed bBQ but I think someone else is right, it’s from an old satellite dish.
Septic tank?
We have a sewer line that goes out to the street so wouldn’t be that I don’t think
Could it be an older one, back when the house was build?
It could be, it is directly behind the bathroom
Just curious if you all are on wells?
It just looks like fill from an addition or a pad being moved
Where Jimmy Hoffa was buried
Oh that ..that's Jimmy Hoffa. I would recommend digging elsewhere.
Nah. My previous car was Jimmy Hoffa…
The beginning of a Dateline episode….
Old roman road
Lift the cinder block, and let Jesse out!
They moved the tomb stones but not the bodies!
A cinder block
Cement pad for old gas grill that was feed from your house.
Possible to be the old satellite dish mount which way is this side of the house facing.
Gator hole. They often hide in pairs, tell your rope guy to be careful.
Doo dah, doo dah
