The depth of the pool suggests someone once grew waterlilies.

We have an old field-stone swimming pool that is 15'x45'. It is now
full of frogs, etc. so we planted water lilies in it. It is about 3'
deep at the shallow end, 5' deep in the center and 8' deep in the deep
end. We planted the water lilies in pots placed upon cement blocks in
the shallow end. Now the entire pool is coved with water lilies. They
don't care how deep the water is. Obviously the roots are just floating
loose in the water.
