I've got to admit, I don't know much about antennae (which I'm sure is at least half of where my curiosity comes from) and so I am lost as to what the purpose is of that large circle. Is there a reason that to the west of the circle there are trees scattered in a seemingly random fashion? Meanwhile, much of the rest of the landscape is either bare or the trees are in a row. Also, there are a few other areas that take a circular shape, most noticeably just slightly southeast of the main building.
This place is such an enigma to me! Gotta love it...in an eerie way...

The distance from the poles to the east and the big circle would indicate a wavelength comparable to the lower band of AM radio, and I am not an RF specialist, so I know about as much as the next guy.

As best I can tell, it's a project known as the DHARMA initiative.

Not as exciting as some of the other ideas being thrown around, but the NIKE Missle Base that was located just over the Bay Bridge (Bay Head Rd) was upgraded to support the use of Hercules missiles...upgrades took two years, and were completed in 1961. That year also happens to coincide with the Kent Island Research Facility making an appearance. Maybe the two have ties...

I am a utility locator. I find underground wires. Well one day about five years ago I had an emergency locate for the building that is accessed from Dominion Rd. The Telephone line supplying the building failed and needed to be replaced. Myself and the digging crew showed up at the same time, but also there were three black unmarked suv's with lights. They told us we needed to complete the job as soon as possible. They unlocked the gate, let us in and locked it back up behind us and told us to get started. We were instructed to not stop till the job was done and we could not go anywhere else. We couldn't ask questions and we couldn't take pictures or record video. Pictures of proof of marks is part of my job. They told me if I did, I would be detained.
Well anyway it was the fastest phone replacement I ever saw or was a part of. These people stayed within 50 feet of us the whole way.
That's was when I researched what this place is. Some people say that the place is a one man show but I have seen other vehicles and people on the property all the time. I still work in this part of Queen Anne county today.
