Kinda looks like very small rooms for any kind offer Plantation to me. It looks like many private family cemeteries that I've seen out in the middle of nowhere. Would be a house nearby though at onetime.

I'm kind of leaning towards a grave plot also. I live in south Louisiana and many grave plots are above ground or fairly shallow because of our shallow water table. I see country plots like that often, your brick wall seems to have a "finished" top and probably was never taller than it is now. Remote farming families would create their own family plots and often didn't have access to marble, so headstones were often made of less durable material or not used at all. In other parts of the country sometimes a shallower than normal grave was dug because a tough sub-surface material(rock) made it practically impossible to dig deeper with simple farm implements and a top layer of filler dirt or gravel was used within the wall for more protection.

Pretty cool...I love finding unexpected structures in the woods.

Here's a similar example -

I concur on it possibly being graves, even if it is, that means there is a homestead nearby that is worth looking for. Good Luck either way!
