That wire would have been a det-cord wick into that structure at full
shot. Blessings large and small!
Be well, Jim!

We had a similar situation where the cable company did not ground
their cable to the AC Mains ground nor did they even provide a driven
ground for their system.
Probably around '89, when the home we bought in the Santa Cruz
Mountains 15 years later was rebuilt, a telco installer ran the
"ground" for his drop on about 50 ft of #10 to the outlet for a garden
hose, which was fed by PVC pipe. The only earth connection was outside
the kitchen of the detached "mother-in-law" garage apartment (now my
shack). The bond from it to the panel in that building was #10 running
up through the ceiling across the building, down the outside wall, to
a single driven rod. I also found 120V outlets in that kitchen wired
between one leg of 240V and the green wire.
Luckily, I didn't have lightning damage before finding these issues
and fixing them.
