Black Barrel Mystery

Found this in the wood.


The barrel buckled as the tree grew and pulled the metal band tighter.


It had this label:


There were holes drilled in the bottom.


Found a second one, further on in the woods.  It still had a lid.  Netting was sticking out.


This one had a different label, with a "1" instead of a "2".


What they were for?  Animal homes?  What kind were they meant for?  How long had they been there?  Were there any more?  I looked but didn't find any others.

I searched on the internet for clues, but came up with nothing.  They remain a mystery.
