Only trouble with the stash theory is that the top (was really the bottom of the barrel) didn't open, just the small hole - and the hole very well could have been caused by the pony walkin' on it. It looks square in the pic, but we didn't really look to see if it was a cut hole or just a collapse by pony foot.

Coulda been a stash for something small... jewels, or drugs, or microchips...
