There's a phto icon in the field to the left (west) of it: "The Wilderness Gathering". I think the object's a yurt or similar. It's about 5.5m in diameter according to the Google Earth ruler.

I had the same thought initially. But if you look closely it appears that some of the trees and some of the ground seem to be obscured by the object itself, giving the impression that it's actually above ground level.

Although, as Dreadnought says, the Wilderness chaps are just a few yards away, so maybe it's a storeroom for their axes and what-not.
